The Netherlands no longer uses the 1 or 2 cent coins - they are not accepted for payment, even if you have enough to make a round 5 cent amount.

They should accept them, as per the Euro agreement.

Should they? If so, wouldn't not accepting cash be illegal, too? Quite a few shops and, I think, most company canteens only accept electronic payment.

[RBerenguel]

IIRC (long time since I checked) that's illegal, too, a merchant should always accept cash up to the legal limits imposed on cash payments
