Life has been short for the one- and two-cent euro coins launched only three years ago. Faced with chronic shortages, the central banks of Denmark and Belgium have decided they have no alternative but to withdraw them and order retailers to round prices up or down to the nearest five cents, depending which is closest. The French have no such plans; they fear that the rounding of prices might lead to an overall increase in price levels.
Question: If there were not such a chronic shortage of the coins the Danish and Belgian central banks would not be withdrawing them.
