Man fined for spitting at coffee shop workers when his 5-cent coins were rejected

SINGAPORE: A man was fined S$1,000 for spitting at two coffee shop workers when he was told that they could not accept more than five 5-cent coins as payment for a drink.

Tan left the shop and returned later with a face mask on, before approaching the counter at about 4.40pm to order a drink.The shop assistant and the cashier told him that they could not accept more than five 5-cent coins in payment, as this was the coffee shop's policy at the time. According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore , currency notes and coins it issues are legal tender in Singapore, and all coin denominations can be used by a customer to make payment, up to a limit of 20 coins per denomination for each transaction. However, if both the vendor and customer agree to use quantities of coins above this limit, they can do so.

LOL 5cents problem ..... Singapore should announce scrap $0.01c and $0.05c .....
