In Spain, most stores with a parking lot use the same system. Many people carry a plastic "coin sized token" to avoid the problem of random people "stealing" your cart with the coin in it... but usually they still return the cart to get their token back.
The token is probably more expensive than the coin itself in this economy 😂
Well, it depends. They let you use any coin of 0.50€, 1€ or 2€... Temu has 8-packs of metal tokens for 3€, AliExpress has 10-packs for 1€, but many businesses have seized the opportunity to gift branded plastic or metal tokens, including some car dealerships... even the shops themselves! At this point, I have more tokens than I'll ever have a chance to use 😁
