Yes/no was what I choose when i create the wiki page, but yes/no is already 
used by access tag for the restrictions on roads.. and I've looked somewhere 
in the wiki it's preferred use true/false. But it's not false this is a term 
more for computers, an idea for change true/false ?
Lulu-ann says in the discussion page it's better use yes/no equally. I think a 
mini-vote to choose between yes/no or true/false on the discussion page could 
resolve this choice.

I never see this system in France, we just have to put a coin to detach the 
cart from the others.

Use shop:cart:fee instead of shop:cart_coin ? Good idea, but can we use it for 
this because the trolley return the coin when you park it.

I think there's a way to set a default value when the tag is not precised, the 
"standard" is 1€ or 1£ (I don't in America), and when the value is different we 
precise it.

It could be interessant do it ^^ But we have to wait before the vote =s

Yes, i think a lot of persons use tokens instead of money, i use it equally ^^ 
But the trolleys are originaly made for a sort of coin and precise it could be 
interessant when it's not the standard value.

There's a lot of responses, and I want to thanks all users for the comments =)
