Is the 5c coin legal tender still?

[Philipkee]

I know it is still legal tender but it seems many places do not accept it so it's like not legal tender also

[Arctic]

No issue for me so far. But in the first place, I rarely received or need to use 5c coins......

[Shiori]

1 cent is also still legal tender too just that MAS no longer mint them

[FireOpal]

Bought a packet of bee hoon. Gave them two 5 cents also don't want to accept. Really ccb.

ya it's still legal tender...

unless MAS removes it from circulation

usually what they will do is stop minting........ not sure they stopped liao or not. then slowly remove from circulation. maybe that's their plan

They usu say can use no more than 2 pcs or one etc
If they do that n state on cashier visible prominent place it s accepted I heard

[default]

take for example, the $1 note and the $20 note. they just remove it slowly until they feel not many people use and not many in circulation

but banks all these still have to accept it for time being
