Sweden is brutal in that way (maybe in a good way) where the government just tell the people that now we are going to get rid of this coin or that bill, like it or not.
Or, currency made before this date will no longer have a value (except for collectors).
When I was a kid we still had coins in 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50 Öre denomination and the 1, 2 and 5 Kronor coins.
You get 100 Öre on 1 Krona and 1 Krona is about $0.14
So the smallest coin was worth about $0.0014 but you could still go to the candy store and buy one chewy candy for it.
As the years went by, the removed one after the other and made them obsolete in value so now I think they might only have 1, 10 and 20 Krona coins.
I wish US could do some of the same instead of keeping that darn penny alive.
