In response to a forum letter suggesting about the use and acceptance of 5-cent coins, MAS explained there remains a use for 5-cent coins in Singapore and will continue issuing 5-cent coins to meet demand. Under the Currency Act, merchants are allowed to decide if they do not wish to accept certain coins for payment but must put up a written notice to inform customers.
