  1. If you are in Australia, yes there is. Yes. The Currency Act stipulates the rules outlined in the table below.

    Denomination --             Quantity

    1c & 2c --                        Maximum of 20 cents

    5c, 10c, 20c & 50c --     Maximum of $5

    $1, $2, $5 & $10 --         Not exceeding ten times the face value, inclusive ie a maximum of $100 for $10 notes (10 x $10)

    Any other denomination  -- To any value


  2. i wouldnt think so but that info that Ergot gave is suprising!

    my answer is no limit but I have been proven wrong already!

  3. yes

  4. no not at all, its really up to you and if youre willing to count it out. i tried to get rid of some pennies one day it was soo funny, but i wouldnt try that again, ppl gave you that "come on" stare lol. i dont think they really ever count that so that could work in your favor lol. .

  5. No.... if they refuse it take your custom elsewhere.

  6. depend on who own it

  7. Depends on the store's policy. I know a store that doesn't let you pay a dollar in coins, only a bill.

  8. Yes, you need to research the term "Legal Tender".

    In addition, just because a hand full of coins may still qualify as legal tender, there doesn't appear to be a law to enforce acceptance of payment....so the shopkeeper might still refuse to accept.

    However, most shopkeepers are happy to take your coins, whether it is classed as legal tender or not, so in the end the rule is pointless and isn't enforced.  It's up to the shopkeeper/manager to decide.
