The cashier told me that in future to pay in cash [notes] as ALDI policy can only accept $5 worth of coins. "Mind you I had $7 worth of gold coins." The act states silver coins can only be used up to $5, but customers can use ten times the face value of gold coins. So shoppers could pay for goods with $10 worth of $1 coins and $20 worth of $2 coins.
