<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bart, post: 286926, member: 5580&quot;]That&#039;s what our Minister of Finance, Didier Reynders, declared.</p><p>This year it was scheduled that an extra 40 million of 1 and 2 eurocent coins should be struck. This was necessary because of a shortage of these coins. People want to receive the right change (and thus the small coins) but they hoard those coins. To avoid this our Minister of Finance declared Belgium would act like the Netherlands and round off every price on 5 eurocent. So the 1 and 2 eurocent wouldn&#039;t be necessary anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>As at the moment Belgium has no government to make this kind of decisions, we shall see what the new government decides on this matter.</p><p>We had elections on June, 10th, but due to some disagreements between Flemish and French politicians a new government isn&#039;t yet formed. Politicians hope to announce the forming of the new government on November, 15th, but it is still uncertain if that will be possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bart[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
