    Cash transactions now get rounded to the nearest 5 cents here in Estonia so you won’t even get the 2 cents anymore. 5 is the minimum now

    Think it’ll reduce usage of the tiny coins, but no idea if they’re also slowly removing them from circulation or not. In your scenario you would’ve received just 5 cents

    Doesn’t invalidate the extra 5 cents to get 10 cents back, just nice to get back even fewer small coins I’d say. Sometimes you pay an extra cent or 2, sometimes you lose a cent or 2. Never more than 2 anyway

      Yeah, our government occasionally discusses that idea again, but unfortunately nothing has been put into law yet. I would certainly prefer not having to carry around extra copper, just because companies want their .99 prices.
