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.
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%.
The Stores will all do 1,96 then and no store will do 2,04 since that would make a loss on their side.
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.
