Similar in SA. The 1, 2 & 5 cent coins are no longer used.
When we were on holiday in Mauritius some years ago, there was a nearby
corner-cafe where drinks were so much cheaper than those in the resort

I don't know if this is still done, but in my youth Germans would buy

Belgium has just done away with the monetary chicken food and all shops
now round up or down to the nearest 10 cents. Other euro countries are
thinking about it.
