Because thanks to the invention of the debit card and the widespread proliferation of facilities whose goods or services can be obtained through the use of such, the common carriage of significant quantities of currency to be exchanged for such goods and services, is a practice in significant decline, resulting in a reduction in the number of transactions whose completion is not exact and would therefore require some form of coinage with which to address any resultant monetary imbalance after the completion of any such transaction.
As a result, small denomination coinage is less common overall and the average person does not carry a great of such about their person, making it counterintuitive to attempt to purchase items with only the aforementioned small denomination coinage.
