I love Euro, I really do. In my opinion evey European country should join the Eurozone immediately. It is so handy to have the same currency! Some countries opted not to have it, like Denmark and Sweden, but I’m pretty sure their opinion will change at one point.

Finland made a drastic decision with the Euros when it was taken as the official currency. We blocked out 1 and 2 cent coins entirely. Finland is an expensive country compared to some other Euro countries so I don’t think we would have used those much anyway. The smallest coin therefore is the 5 cent coin.

So in the list of Things that drive me grazy in Germany are definately those small stupid coins. They only fill up space in my pocket and I hardly use them. I roll my eyes and prepare for a long waiting when in the queue Frau Schwarz takes out the purse and start to give the cashier all the small coins…

In my opinion, the least useful invention in the world: 1 cent coin!
