Estonia has abandoned one and two cent coins as change for cash payments.

Starting from January 1, when paying in cash in Estonia, the amount will be rounded to the nearest five cents. The change only applies to cash.

One and two cent coins will remain in use as a means of payment and can still be used to pay in shops.

According to the Estonian Central Bank, the aim is to reduce the number of the smallest euro coins in circulation.
