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.

They are annoying. I save up a big jar of just 1 and 2 pieces and go to the marts that have self checkouts and take coins and just dump em all in. Otherwise useless

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

[–] animist@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kauflands have them

[–] Gorroth@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

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

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 ;)
