No - pretty pointless

all they serve now is for retailers/food establishments to price stuff at .99p just so it looks cheaper

oh and 2p machines at the amusements, lol

I use them for the arcades sometimes, other than that they are pretty pointless. Always feel awkward counting out copper when people are behind you lol

There is a Solution for this
Pre-Count the amount you need (if you know it)
take it in another pocket.

They annoy me too, I tried to rid of some at the self checkout the other week since they usually have no queues, and it wouldn't even accept half of them!

They go in my son's hugh plastic coke bottle - every time I get copper, which is a handful every day, it goes in there - there must be quite an amount in there now! It can probably hold several hundred pounds worth!

Yeah I sit in the car sometimes and count out enough in the brown coins to buy what I want and get great pleasure in handing them over. I feel satisfied.
