Almost two-thirds of Irish people are in favour of the scrapping of 1c and 2c euro coins.
A new survey commissioned by the European Commission found 65% of Irish citizens supported the two smallest denominations of euro coins being abolished.
It was the eighth highest level of support for reducing the number of euro coin types among citizens of the 19 EU member states which use the euro as their currency and just above the euro area average of 64%.
