1 and 2 cent pieces, what do you think about removing them? (feddit.de)

They're not worth anything, never were but even less through the years with inflation.

If a store wants to sell something for 99 cent, they can either just take 1€ or 95 cent.

Maybe even 5 cent pieces? But that would be a bit radical.

I am a bit annoyed that easy ideas like this are never discussed in politics, or wherever. It would make our lives just a little bit easier, and having them achieves NOTHING.

Do you know if there is such a mart in Germany?

self checkouts are less common than in other countries, but larger REWEs and Kauflands and often Edekas have them.

Ah okay, I know a few places, never realized I could just threw coins in there. Definitely going to check that out, thank you ;)

Never seen one in my local Kaufland, but will keep an eye open next time I’m there.
