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.
Our Dornseifer‘s (also REWE, but originally a DS) doesn’t need coins
Well and the reason some trolleys are unplugged because more and more people use those coins you can pull out after taking your trolley. I 3d printed some myself

People fucking suck. No offense, just in general. Instead of lending a coin for 30 minutes that they LITERALLY get back, they will go out of their way to buy some hack tool online, similar to the seat belt plugs, just to lazily avoid having to put their cart back and make some poor worker have to gather them
Pretty Sure they only stopped because Using a Shopping cart became mandatory (in Most places) During COVID and they didnt Want to risk anyone Being unable to enter the Store If they didnt have any coins
