And then some European countries were considering removing their one and two cent coins from circulation because they were more expensive to produce than they are actually worth.

Arithmetic test problem for class 4 pupils:

Grandpa did not receive his free medicine because it is out of stock and he has to pay for it himself. It costs €9.50 per packet.

He uses petrol in his car on which he has started to save €0.02 per litre after the government indulged in a reckless orgy of largesse.

If grandpa’s car covers 8km per litre, how many kilometres must grandpa drive to save enough money to buy one packet of pills?

I had a nice dream where the prime minister gave us all €7,000 allowance per annum for our car like he took for himself.

Ahh the mils coins – made out of the cheapest and thinnest sheet metal, you could literally bend it in your hands.
