I have exasperated a few cashiers by whipping out a bagload of coins to pay for a small purchase. Thankfully, most of them gracefully accepted my coins and didn't give me a hard time about it. I'm glad to hear the service provider you paid P1,500 in one centavo coins accepted your payment. Coins are legal tender in the Philippines up to P25 for denominations of P0.25 and above, and up to P20 for denominations of P0.10 or less. Dear Marketman,

Rustan's Makati's been at it for ages and when an auntie of mine cam back one day with a bagful of candy intending to use this as legal tender, they REFUSED! You should have seen (rather heard) her go at them. "Ang kakapal niyo @#^%!!!" And the murmurs of assent that swept through the ranks of supermarket clients who'd experienced the same treatment all these years. Buti na lang they relented and took in her/their candy. Don't let them get away with it.
