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 1โ‚ฌ 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.

I actually looked it up. They are 5,65% copper, the rest ist iron. But because they are not 100% copper, they are less valuable then 1 cent. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurom%C3%BCnzen
