A beggar in Italy will now only accept whole Euro's from passers by. Since giving up the Italian Lira for the Euro, the beggar has been largely receiving donations in only one or two cent increments.

He is quoted as whining, "life for us beggars has become even more difficult with the introduction of the Euro. People are not willing to give as much anymore."

If donations fail to improve, he may have to actually go out and get a job.
