One of the annoying things about shopping in Foodland stores was that you always ended up with a ciuple of satang coins.
One day my mate and I took a bowl of them to foodland to buy some beer and cigarettes.
They said they could not accept the the satang coins, so we sat there in a peaceful fashion until they counted them out.
The manager was good about it, and said they would pass out comments onto the powers that be, still no change 12 years on?

I know in Australia there is a limit of 10 or 20 coins that you are permitted to tender for shopping purposes.

I think they would be better used to make jewelry, like necklaces or bracelets. But that might be illegal, as you would deface leagl tender, and possibly an afront to the King as well???
