yes but as tourist of course he doesn't know how to take the train/timing  , the taxi is easy maybe the only way

He's a tourist, doesn't mean he can't figure out how trains work

It really depends on the country. For example here in the Netherlands only a handful of shops still give out 1-2 cents, most of them don't and you don't often get them anymore. 

 

And @konig: Ignore the 'only the 1 euro is useful' part please  It's not true, 2 euro is just as useful, and so is 50 cent (the coin, the singer is in fact useless)

In Ireland, the "smallest" coin in circulation is 5c. Thankfully we got rid of 1c and 2c coins as they were indeed a pain in the neck

I'm not even sure about their status here  

 

I think shops still have to accept them, but usually prices are rounded up or down towards 5c so you don't really need it. I know there is one sort of annoying cheap ass shop here that still gives them, but that's about it

Lowest currency here is 5lp (which is less than 1c ). There used to be 1lp and 2lp, but not anymore.

It's funny you talk about the use of 1 and 2c coins because I just saw something about that on French TV, they are thinking about getting rid of them.

Lipa.

 

Kuna is our euro, while lipa is our cent. In Engilsh, kuna means marten (animal), lipa means linden (tree).

Kuna sounds way cooler
