I have 11 euro in change--how should I spend it?

I've been living in Europe for 5 months, and in that time, I've accumulated about 11 euro in change, most of it 5 cent pieces and pennies. The thing is, I'm going back to the United States in two days, and I can't exchange euros for USD, so I either lose that 11 euro or I spend it. The thing is...I don't want to be that total dick who dumps all her nickels on the counter and makes everyone wait. Any ideas for what I could buy where it wouldn't be stupid to pay in change? And yes, I know vending machines, but not all of them take five cents. A lot of them are 10-20 cents and higher.

Why not buy a litre bottle of spirit (whisky, vodka, rum, gin) to take home, either for personal use or as a gift for your parents/friends. That should take care of most of it. Don't bother about what others may think.....it's money and they are not likely to see you again, in any case!

Go to any bank or post office and exchange the small coins for a 10 Euro note and a 1 Euro coin.
