“Is it legal to openly declare that they don’t accept 5 cent coin although it is a legal coin in Singapore?” the customer wrote his question

SINGAPORE: After noticing that the coffee shop in Tampines St 21 put up a sign informing its customers they would no longer accept 5-cent coins, a customer took to social media to ask whether this was legal.

Netizens in the comments section informed Mr Tan that establishments or vendors are legally allowed to refuse a payment method.Others, meanwhile, encouraged Mr Tan to spend his 5-cent coins elsewhere. One Redditor stated, “If you go to eg. ntuc or valu$ shop, they are happy to accept your 5 cents. For a very simple reason.”There have been several reports of 5-cent coins being rejected in other establishments.
