Rejected petition Abolish 1p and 2p coins. Make all prices end in a 5 or a 0.

1p and 2p coins are useless. No one ever uses them to pay anymore; instead they are simply discarded or lost. It was understandable when groceries like bread cost less than 20p, now however, due to inflation; they are useless. It also costs more than a penny to make a penny.
