Copper money be abolished? Vote here!

The EU Commission is considering, 1and 2 Cent coins should be abolished. Therefore, they asked the citizens, the violins, the opinion for the money. Until Monday that is possible.

For some they are a sign of luck – some of them bend even on the sidewalk after them. The others hate it: Too heavy and unwieldy they are in your wallet. The speech is, of course, 1 – and 2-Cent coins.

The EU Commission wants to abolish it, but that is nothing. At the earliest, the end of the year you want to present a corresponding legislative proposal.

Previously, you would like to rate, which would bring an abolition of coin money with it. So, there could be approximately uniform rounding rules at the supermarket checkouts.
