Swedish coins are terrible because the sizes and values are all over the place, and the 1 coin and 2 coin are fucking identical. Old people, the people who use cash the most, have to squint at the damn things and ask for help.
All I want is for sales tax to be included in the sticker price. Retailers like to make things near round numbers, so I would hopefully be able to actually use cash without getting a ton of change.
I highly doubt that, they’re probably ferromagnetic (ferrous for short), meaning they’re attracted to magnets. If they were themselves magnetic, they would get stuck to each other and be hard to use.
I believe ferromagnetic is a subset of magnetic rather than a separate class and that calling iron, for example, magnetic is not incorrect. I believe what you’re describing are “permanent magnets”.
This is so wrong… Obviously the two gold coin should go below.
Op organized by value not size?
Why I hesitate to support joining the Eurozone:

The US is terrible. In order from smallest to largest:

I was making a joke about the us dollar and how its not long for the world
Ah, I thought you were talking about electronic payments completely taking over.

e: “Ferrous” refers to iron specifically. Ferromagnetism was named after iron’s magnetic property.
