And it's not just India. Yesterday I saw a Starbucks barista with a
plastic container of coins from the tips of the week. She took it to a
bank where they deduct 7% to turn it into paper money.
What a ripoff!

Here, in Spain, almost all banks never change you coins by paper. Only few
coins, never more than 5 or 10 Euros. If you have many coins, you should pay
it in your account.

In Canada the 1-cent coin is only considered legal tender in quantities
of less than 50 -- which is another reason I say to do away with the
frickin' denomination that only exists to allow merchants and
governments to squeeze a few more percentage points their way.

Either money should be legal tender or not IMO.

So don't accumulate more than 49.  Spend them as you get them.

Scottish and Northern Irish Banks issue notes in the UK but these are not
legal tender even in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Thanks

Many countries have a limit on how many low denomination coins are legal
tender, this is to prevent people paying the tax man in a very large
number of low denomination coins.  Billy

European Central Bank do not allows any commercial transaction where more
than 40 coins are involved,  regardless of its *** value.

This regulation should be applied in all the 12 Euro-zone countries.

We have similar limitations in Euroland: The "legal tender limit" for
coins is 50 pieces (regardless of denomination) per payment.
