That's why our wallets have pockets for coins.

Why is that strange? :-P
By the way, Finland abolished the 1 ct. and 2 ct. coins as
far as I know. Also it's kind of annyoing me that I often
get back a 5 EUR bill and some small change at the
supermarket, so would it be worth introducing a 5 EUR coin
maybe? On the other hand, the 2 EUR coin has replaced the 5
DM coin (5 DM = 2,56 EUR when the Euro was introduced),
though *subjectively* I feel that you got back two 5 DM
coins more often than one 10 DM bill (= 5.11 EUR). I hardly
get back two 2 Euro coins however. Can anyone confirm that?
Or is it just me being silly, besides only having been 15
years old when we changed currencies?
My EUR 0.02...
