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.

    Get rid of them. I just throw the small coins in a box regularly. A couple if years ago I tried to get rid of them. I found out that my bank would not accept them so easily and when I tried to pay with rolls of cent coins, store owners would be pissed. What the hell am I supposed to do?

      Some supermarkets have machines where you can just toss them all in and get a coupon you can use in the market. But I think they take a 5% cut or something, so not ideal.
