Why is the cent so small? Banana for scale.

  1. 1, 2 and 5 cents are completely useless. They should be melted, and the copper used for something that is actually needed.

  2. I think the size is pretty average… Its normal okay, The Banana Is way tooo big…. And The cent have good personality

  3. Aside from 1 cent being a useless piece if hot trash:

    You can after a while easily distinguish euro coins by size (bigger = worth more) . Except for 50 cets. Why is that MF bigger than a 1 euro coin?

  4. Because if it is too big this could cause a disaster in th e spacial-time dimension, the metal of the coin could fusion with the vitamins of the banana, creating a big banana metal monster. For sure guys belive me

  5. So it can do it’s job of being annoying, spreading germs and polluting the environment much easier.

    The purpose of this coin is to bounce around in the washing machine, to slide into small cracks and under your sofa, to litter the street and just generally be annoying. This would be hard if it was any bigger.

  6. Sewers need copper to fight bacterial growth. By making cents this small millions of them roll into sewers and do their work. This way we all contribute to the good fight.

  7. Well, how to explain it graphically so all of you can understand? In some countries when you want to use the bathroom in a gas station, you have to pay 50 cents which you can then redeem when you purchase something from the shop. People started showing up with 50 bananas and it created long queues at all of the gas stations. Then, Brexit happened and especially in the UK all kinds of EU regulations on bananas which had been heavily criticized by Nigel Farage for many years at the European Parliament no longer applied. This gave everyone a chance to stop using the banana as European currency and introduce the cent.

    I hope this somewhat technical and political analysis satisfies your curiosity!

  8. let’s see. This is the 0.01 euro coin. Everybody knows, the reason it exists is so that businesses can price stuff at 99.99€ !

  9. I think certain coins can be counted by weight instead of counting them individually you can put a pile on scale and its weight will correspond with value of counted coins. Small size= small weight.

  10. I mean its not that small its pretty big for me… Kinda HUGE. Still can pay with it so what’s the problem🥲
