I wonder if Scandinavia could be due to 1/100 of a crown being even more ridiculously small than a penny. Wikipedia tells me that only Denmark still has sub-krone coins, and that's 50 ore.

When I was in the (US) military, none of the vendors like the base exchange or on-base bars or restaurants overseas used coins smaller than a nickel (5 cents). It just wasn't worth shipping pennies overseas. The one exception was the post office. This was ~2005, so people still used cash.
