How to use 5 cent coin

[pwnies5600]

So nowadays I find many places don't accept 5 cent coin. Especially in hawker centers the some auntie uncles don't accept 5 cent coin presumably because they are a hassle to deal with. Any ideas on places to spend them other than the supermarkets?

As far as I know before the new proposed recommended law as of 2017, the legal tender limit is $2 but under new law it's limited to 10 coins of each denomination because of the sim lim square incident so if a business entity reject your payment is breaking the law.

However banks wil take your coins subject to their "descretion" it's not free,see link below.
