加国10大怪法规：不得用大量零钱购物

红灯不能右转在多伦多有许多地方，我家附近就有三个。

很普通legal tender观念，很多很多国家都有这个法例。 一切行为要合理，例如你去买车，车行可以拒绝你用一车零钱，又例如你花一块几毛，拿张1000元（好像不再出），商家有权拒绝。

我用全部硬币在沃尔玛买过一个30元+税的电水壶，收银的是个法盲，居然没有将我当场逮住移送警察局，而是让我拿着水壶大摇大摆走出了商店。

其他的法律先不管，单说不能大量使用零钱购物一法。 加拿大有货币法。转录如下： Currency ActR.S.C., 1985, c. C-52An Act respecting CurrencySHORT TITLEMarginal note:Short title1.
