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.

    Hungary has in the recent past got rid of 1 and 2 HUF coins. Prices can still be XX99, only total transaction amounts have to be rounded according to official rounding laws, but only if in cash.

    It works.

        If the price ends on 1 or 2 HUF, it goes down to the nearest ten, if it’s 3,4,6 or 7 it rounds to 5, if it’s 8 or 9 it goes up to the nearest ten.

        No one really cares that much, as 1 HUF is worth around a third of a cent.
