Estonia Phases Out 1- and 2-Cent Coins, Sends Them to Latvia Under New Rounding Policy

  • Estonia is phasing out one
  • and two-cent euro coins in January 2025, sending them to Latvia under a coin exchange agreement.
  • Cash transactions will be rounded to the nearest five cents, but card payments remain exact.
  • Retailers support the change for faster, more efficient transactions.
  • One
  • and two-cent coins remain legal tender but are no longer issued or given as change.
  • Higher denominations, including five-cent coins, remain in circulation, with ongoing discussions about replacing the five-euro note with a coin.
