The euro has 8 coins (€2 €1 50c 20c 10c 5c 2c and 1c) and here in the Netherlands, they've pretty much phased out the 1c and 2c coins. All stores round up or down the nearest five cents, evening the system out. You're only charged the precise amount if you pay electronically. Banks and some government transactions will result in a 1c or 2c coins, but it's pretty rare for them to end up in your pocket. I suppose you could game the system if you paid in cash when the rounding was in your favor, and paid in debit when it wasn't. I doubt it would be worth the effort.
