Here's a better idea: draw the outline of half a 2-euro coin, add a "lollipop stick", cut that shape out of 2mm aluminum from the hardware store, and you'll never need a shopping cart token ever again: stick the half-coin into the cart's lock, unlock, twist sideways and retrieve your little tool.
If you're a nice person, unlock 10, 15 or the whole stack of carts for the next shoppers who need a cart and don't have a coin.
It will work if you print it out of PLA, but it won't be as durable and you can break it inside the lock.
Some of the newer style locks have a tray that you have to sit the coin in and slide the tray in. A bit like the OG PS2 disc tray. So unfortunately this tool isn't universal.
But for the traditional slot on the front style, yeah, that'd be cool.
