Cash (banknotes and coins) can be used at self-checkout in Germany, so it can be used at self-checkouts anywhere, assuming the shop hasn’t blocked that.
Its super easy, even. You throw the coins in a kind of a bucket and the machine counts them very quickly. Then you get the change in a tray with a round bottom so it’s super easy scooping it all with one move.
If cash becomes a big thing again, it will be usable at self-checkouts outside Germany as well. Shops don’t want to pay extra salary expenses just to avoid having a reasonably cheap device at their self-checkout counter.
Yup, I’ve only ever seen that in Germany. In Finland we also need to queue if we want to pay by cash. I don’t know why they want to pay for all those extra cashiers.

I’ve never seen cash accepted at self checkout in Belgium or the Netherlands and that still doesn’t take away at how inconvenient cash is overall.
