STOP MINTING COPPER COINS (1p & 2p pieces)
Closed

What the petition asks
There is very little that can be purchsed for 1p or 2p now, so it is pointless having these coins. It is also a waste of money minting them. If the lowest denomination of coin minted was 5p then everything could be priced at £x.95 instead of £x.99
