Pisces69 6th Gear January 5, 2011 Share January 5, 2011 I heard somewhere that its a business decision as depositing coins would incur costs. Most shops dont mind some coins so its easy to give change to customers. Maybe $20-40 in coins is ok but not all in 5cent pcs. When i sell food at food court, coins n small notes r very important especially during peak times. Busy time where got time to go bank change small notes n coins. I always keep small change stand-by abt $40 in my pouch. Many pple now pay $5 meal wh $50 note. Especially on pay days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aristotle 5th Gear January 5, 2011 Share January 5, 2011 Aiyah, you want to give ppl 5c coins also must see who mah. I always try to give to those cashiers in NTUC or 7 eleven, where their products sure got 5c denominations. You ever see a hawker selling noodles at $2.55? No right? In the end, he accept, he will still pass back to another kuku customer who then show black face to the hawker. Sure got chance to dispose in other shops lah. Dun be so hard up on these rules and trying to nit pick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha78 6th Gear January 5, 2011 Share January 5, 2011 So the notice only states the stall does not accept 5-cent coin for payment? So they have to accept 1-cent coins for payment, as long as the total value does not exceed $2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerwoods Turbocharged January 6, 2011 Share January 6, 2011 I ever paid $3.00 for a bowl of Prawn Noodle in 5ct coins that my daughter save in her piggy bank when she was 5.. The Hawker looked very Tulan... The rest of the 5ct coins I mixed with other coins to spend it all. No.. I didn't take my girlgirl money to use. I exchange with her in dollar notes... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
