In the Netherlands we've been rounding to 5ct intervals for 20+ years now, and 1ct coins were abolished long ago. With the introduction of the euro, the 1ct and 2ct coins returned, but all shops still round to 5ct for cash transactions.

Every time I return from Germany I have a handful of 1 and 2ct coins though, since they haven't done this, and most prices are X.99.



In Australia the 1 and 2 dollar notes were removed from circulation decades ago too. $1 in 1984 and $2 in 1988.

With respect to the 1c and 2c coins, isn't the metal in them worth more than the currency value?
