One of the proposals is to introduce a 99p coin to make shopping easier in 99p stores.

However, I think they are missing a trick. They should also introduce a £1.01 coin for change.

Not only would this make getting change in 99p stores easier, it will make it easier to use 99p coins with other coins to make more expensive purchases: 99p + £1.01 + 99p = £1.99
