Imagine you come into a supermarket. You buy milk, bread and butter. You hand in money at the cash desk and expect the rest. You realize that they didn't give you 2 cents! Come on, your hard earned T W O cents!
Forget about it, forget about 2 cents and 1 cent. You won't get it anywhere in the Netherlands. They won't give it to you. It's the rule of the pocket. Too heavy pockets are not comfortable for you. You won't feel secure either with a pocket full of coins. Plus they clink and definitely lower your trousers, revealing your red pants. So, the Dutch solution is to get rid of 1 and 2 cent coins. They are withdrawn from circulation.
If you have to pay 9.58 and you hand in a 10 banknote you'll get 0.40 cents instead of 0.42. Don't worry, if the price of your favourite strawberry chocolate bar is, let's say 2.84, you can calmly hand in 2.80. As simple as that!
