My take: It's a lot like cash money: $5 is convenient to buy a coffee, but it gets annoying already to pay for groceries for the week. Paying with a $10,000 bill would raise questions, and I wouldn't want the barista to know I own those ancient bills. So a bit of everything works for me.
Try getting to Aldi or AH early in a weekend and buy something worth 1Euro with a 500 bill
That's going to be fun!How would you define "small input"? I mean in my particular case I was thinking about consolidating now that I see the fees going down but what I have are mostly inputs of about $100 or higher amounts, which in the next cycle can easily be worth $500.
It depends a lot on what you're actually doing with your coins!
Are you just hoarding them, then it makes no sense, are you depositing randomly around in batches of $100-200, it makes a tiny bit of sense, are you in my position a week ago with ~20 inputs all in total worth ~$120, what do you think?
The privacy was probably already blown as I don't have a clue to what most of those transfers have actually been for so, who cares? Just packed them together for cheap and sent them through a mixer to a cold destination as I'm retiring the old one that turned into a mess of tx over the last year.
Seeing LoyceV response above I would think of this in a matter a small shop works, are you selling food and drinks, then change is a must, are you a mid-high tier restaurant, then hoarding 20c and 10c coins is almost useless at today's usual bill so at the end of the day you just throw them in change machine.
