NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17940 Posts	Posted 09/25/2013 3:42 pm I wondered if any CCF members have ever paid for something with a coin and got a banknote in change? I can remember this happening to me in Portugal in 1985. I needed a 5-escudo stamp to make up postage on a letter. I went to a post office and tendered a 25-escudo coin, and got a 20-escudo note in change. 20-escudo notes were withdrawn not long afterwards...

Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 09/25/2013 9:33 pm In Hong Kong, the 1 cent coin was withdrawn a long time ago, back in WWII. But government bills (taxes, telephone, etc) continued to be charged to the nearest cent. To give exact change, the government printed one-cent banknotes. They remained legal tender until last year.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 07:32 am There was only one occasion that this happened. This was in Russia back in 2001 I think and I gave a 10 ruble commemorative coin since it was dinged up and received 5 ruble banknote. Bear in mind that there are 5 ruble coins and 5 ruble notes were essentially close to extinct at that time.
