Govt Consider Removing One And Two Cent Coins
The government is considering a proposal to remove one and two cent coins from circulation.
It is understood that a pilot scheme will be carried out in Wexford later this year. Prices in the town will be rounded up or down to limit the use of the coins.
Following the trial, a report will be produced and forwarded to the government, who are then expected to make a decision in early 2014 on whether or not to keep the coins in circulation.
