Seems like an easy fix for a business, just change their prices so that they don't have to use coins. Make everything an integer number of dollars. If the items are too cheap to round up, encourage a three for two deal or something like that.
Sales tax doesn't change that frequently. It's easy for a business to predict and account for it when setting their prices.
... the euros' lowest paper bill is 5€. 1 € and 2€ coins are bulky pieces of shit too.
And a bakery is the worst affected kind of business even if there was a 1€ paper bill. A loaf of good bread is 1.40€, if you round up it's way too expensive and if you round down they may not even make a profit. Can't exactly buy 3 loaves of bread either unless you got a family of 6 to feed.
Unfortunatley that won't work, banks charge businesses a percentage for deposits.
