Facebook user Happy Ooi Delaoma asked in a Facebook post if the Singapore 5-cent coin is still considered money today.
She said that she went to a bakery to buy some bread and her total bill amounted to $10.60, of which she paid with cash that included 2 5-cent coins.
However, she said that when she tried to pay with the 5-cent coins, the cashier allegedly gave her a bad attitude and told her that they don’t accept 5-cent coins.
She then doubled down on her question, asking if the 5-cent coin in Singapore has lost its value, and added that it was not like she had tried to pay with 212 5-cent coins for her payment.
She then asked if she has a lot of 5-cent coins at home, does she need to pay extra just to bank in the coins or does she need to exchange it first.
She then asked if anyone has any 5-cent coins that they don’t want, can give her.
Here is what she said
I don’t want to complain, I am just curious, may I ask if the 5cent is still considered money today ?
I just went to bakery to buy bread and I spent a total of $10.60, I gave 2 5cents , the cashier said we don’t accept 5cents, I am curious , has the 5cents lost its value ?
omg I only gave 2 5 cents and I got bad attitude from the cashier. . It is not like I gave 212 5 cents
I am a mountain turtle so I don’t know if still have value or not
If I have a lot of 5 cents at home, do I need to pay extra if I put them in the bank or do I need to exchange first ? Or does anyone not want 5 cent, can give me ? (just kidding)
