MODERATORS
Yep, I'm a big fan of the approach of getting rid of smaller coins and just rounding at the register. The Netherlands already do this and I don't think anyone there misses the small coins.
Absolutely! I carry only a small wallet and hate coins in general. Totally could pass on 1 and 5 Cent coins. Throw them in a box at home (even 10 Cent coins) and have no idea on what to do with them. Brought them to a store once, but they would take 10% and you could only use the money in the store. Found a bank where you can bring them in for 5%, but you would have to roll them up yourself (definitely not gonna do their work and still give them 5%). Maybe I will put it in a chest and bury it somewhere in the forest near a playground so kids can go treasure hunting :D
making it a kid's game is a good idea, but you could also try to go around local shops and ask if they are low on coins, they'd probably give you 1 to 1
