I've found an easier way to get rid of coins, $10 at a time.Wd40 wrote:I have so far managed to keep the coins to manageable levels, by following the below technique:
1)While buying small price items like less than $3, always pay with coins. I always take a small bunch of coins with me while going out.
2)While buying big price items try paying as far as possible using cards(credit cards 1st priority and debit card(nets) next priority where they dont accept CCs)
I would never pay money to exchange my coins for notes, unless I need to leave SG for good
All the MRT stations accept coins as payment for topping up ezylink cards.
Just make sure you follow the following rules:
5c, 10c, and 20c pieces ... used to make up the first $2.
The remaining $8 made up of 50c pieces or $1 coins.
It's legal tender, and follows strictly MAS rules on maximum coinage per transaction so MRT station can't refuse it.
