Earlier this week I found some U.S. change in my jacket pocket, and it was so light that it felt like play money. The Euro, on the other hand, has eight coins that make my wallet weigh at least twice what it did in the U.S.
Can anyone explain why we have this many coins (2e, 1e, 50c, 20c, 10c, 5c, 2c, 1c)? And is the Union planning to phase out any coin soon?
