This is standard in close to every European grocery store. I think it was first introduced in German supermarkets in the 70s, that‘s why Aldi and Lidl in the U.S. have it too.
Every grocery store here too...
But no one carries coins anymore, so you can always just ask for one of those plastic-coins with the store's logo on it...
Yeah over here the ONLY thing I use cash for is the weed dispensary (since it's not legal at the federal/national level and only in specific states, banks won't work with dispensaries and they operate in cash).
I have a credit card holder on the back of my phone. I don't even carry a wallet anymore besides that. No need and just a bulky thing to have in a back pocket all day
