I take this combination of euro-cent coins with me when I go shopping: 1, 2, 2, 5, 10, 10, 20, 50.
Et voila, you can always pay exact change for any cent value with only 8 coins.
- Yaggo 16y agoI take a plastic card instead. Voilà, I can always pay the exact sum!
- Luc 16y agoAh, well, where I shop that's not always an option. Besides, I like leaving a tip when I get served.

To the average American who doesn't like dollar coins, imagine their reaction when they find out that Switzerland has a 5 CHF coin. Their smallest bill is 10 CHF.
- brazzy 16y agoSome Euro zone countries (definitely Finland, IIRC also the Netherlands) have abolished the 1 and 2 cent coins; purchase totals are rounded to the nearest .05 value.
