What if it’s common in my country to put a euro into it and you get it back when you put the cart back? I have never even seen carts left on the parking lot.
We have those in Canada… At least in my province. They also sell special 3d printed coins that are large enough to unlock the cart, but thin enough that it can’t trap the “coin” inside. It stays on my keychain. we have one for quarters ($0.25) and one for dollars ($1) different chains require different coin deposits.
Canada stopped using bills for $1 in like the 80s, then dropped the $2 bill in the 90’s. We have the “loonie” which is a $1 coin, and “toonie” which is the $2 coin.
Carts depending on how premium the chain is, will either use a quarter coin ($0.25) or a loonie ($1.00).
A few years ago we dropped the Penny, our 1 cent coin ($0.01). All purchases are rounded to the nearest 5 cents.

First I thought how would you use a cart that unlocks with a Euro in Canada now I’m thinking how are they gonna unlock it with a dollar bill.
Conclusion: I have absolutely no idea about the fiancial system in Canada.
