You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Removal of low-denomination coins from production or circulation))
[[File:1 Ct 1995 SwissMint.jpg|thumb|290px|The Swiss 1 [[Rappen]] coin, last minted in 2006]]
The withdrawal of a country's lowest-denomination coins from circulation (usually a one-[[Cent (currency)|cent]] coin or equivalent) may either be through a decision to remove the coins from circulation, or simply through ceasing minting.

==Reasons==
This withdrawal may be due to the high cost of production, since the coin may be worth less than its cost of production. For example, when [[Canada]] phased out its [[Penny (Canadian coin)|penny]] in 2012, its production cost was 1.6 cents per penny.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/04/canada-cuts-costs-by-eliminating-penny-while-us-clings-to-costly-coin/|title=Canada cuts costs by eliminating penny, while US still clings to iconic coin|date=4 February 2013|website=FoxNews.com|access-date=12 October 2015))</ref>
Other reasons include low [[purchasing power]] and low utility. Often coins are withdrawn after their purchasing power has been eroded after decades of [[inflation]]. In [[Switzerland]], the 1 [[Rappen]] coin had fallen into disuse by the early 1980s, but was still produced until 2006, albeit in ever decreasing quantities. Conversely, the British [[HM Treasury|Treasury]] department initially argued for the retention of the ''decimal'' [[Halfpenny (British decimal coin)|halfpenny]], on the grounds that its withdrawal would drive up inflation.<ref name=BBC>((cite news|title=1984: Halfpenny coin to meet its maker|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/1/newsid_2828000/2828819.stm|accessdate=21 October 2015|agency=[[BBC]]))</ref>

In some countries, such as [[New Zealand]],<ref name=RBNZ>((cite web|title=History of New Zealand Coinage|url=http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/notes_and_coins/coins/0094086.html|publisher=[[Reserve Bank of New Zealand]]|accessdate=20 October 2015))</ref> withdrawn coins are declared to be no longer [[legal tender]]; in other countries, such as [[Australia]], they remain legal tender indefinitely.<ref name=rbalegaltender>((cite web|url=http://banknotes.rba.gov.au/legal/legal-tender/ |title=RBA Banknotes: Legal Tender |publisher=Rba.gov.au))</ref>

When the coin in question is no longer minted, cash transactions are rounded, typically through [[Swedish rounding]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/save-the-penny-or-leave-the-penny-1.941781|title=Save the penny or leave the penny?|website=cbc.ca|accessdate=2015-10-12))</ref>
