Finnish euro coins

"[1] Finland was the first state in the EMU (European Monetary Union) to implement these changes.

The following table shows the mintage quantity for all Finnish euro coins, per denomination, per year (the numbers are represented in millions).

In 2010 this exact trade has been repeated, helping Finland rid some of its 5-cent excesses, pumping in a new supply of two-euro coins, and saving both countries a lot of money.

[5] Finnish businesses and banks have employed a method known as "Swedish rounding" when tallying sums.

Due in large part to the inefficiency of producing and accepting the 1 cent and 2 cent coins, Finland has opted to remove these coins from general circulation in order to offset the cost involved in accepting them.

When paying in cash in Finland, while by law a shopkeeper should accept the coins, usually they will decline, and ask for higher denominations to match the Swedish rounding, even when presented with exact change.
