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.

    what? so if my bill is 1,96 euro i should pay 2 euro and the store will get the 4 cent? no way. that sounds not like much but its like per custumer per day lot. i even hate it that on gas stations there is a .cent. for example gas 1 euro 59,9 cent. what is this bullshit? just money making for the gas stations and oil companys.

      Ah those arguments have already been done to death in the countries that did implement it. It really doesn’t change a thing in the grand scheme of things. Even the shops were worried that they’d lose money on it, so no, it’s not a money making scheme, it averages out perfectly fine.

      I think the idea is that on the other hand the store will only get 2€ if the bill is 2,04€. On average there shouldn’t be any difference for both sides. About the gas stations I agree 100%.
