In all countries of europe and america,their coins are in use.Why is nigerian coins not?Is it bc we are richer than all other countries or what?

Soludo tried to bring back the coins but the mentality of the people could not curtail it. When i tried to find out why they rejected they said its because its heavy. But thats not an excuse even others have it without any complain.

Coins

Our money is near being valueless.

What can a coin buy

A lemon sweet is being sold for N5/one.

Except you go to Shoprite . That was the place I saw a coin last.

Coins? Our money is almost valueless and how much does a candy cost? N5.00 does not have a value, so why would the coins be used?

it is becos even the average nigerian, does not value the coins, We need use it

Increase the value of the COIN and definitely, we would start using them.

that coin thing is a potential weapon you know

At least they should introduce pay-phone on the streets where you can make calls with coins or clean water machine which you can refill your bottle with coins,

good question.

this is  psyco-related if you ask me.

Everyone like to be a big man and you dont want to be seen carrying about 'jingling coins' in your pocket.

Nitel had this in good old days, area boyz tap the line and everyone call for free.

sorry how did he try it? he only redesigned them or change their color


If they can put th price of petrol at say 67Naira N68 or 103 then people should always ask for their change!!!
they should stop rounding off the price

When people were rejecting it, I tried being the good guy - collected it - but nobody will collect it from me. I felt as if I was a leper _{(with dow 4 that matter)}. One day I gathered all of them and went to the bank. The rejected, telling me to go spend it. Since that day, I never touch those metals again and never!

it's cuz Nigeria is a corrupt country dats why we have not been using coins, in fact what can you buy with 1 kobo?,1 naira? nothing so it doesnt make any sense to me at all .cost of living is crazy, no price control,inflation e.t.c

the solution is this

make 1000, 500, 200 and 100 nairra coins. and lower denominations notes.

We are not ready technology wise,

In developed countries coins are used mostly with high-tech machines to buy drinks and snacks, washing machines, telephone calls, etc.

The same people who made 1000 naira notes (for easy stealing), made the coins unacceptable and valueless.
You can imagine stealing coins of 5million naira.

Our leaders are greedy. As long as they can satisfy their greed, they are ok with anything.

the solution is this

make 1000, 500, 200 and 100 nairra coins. and lower denominations notes.

I think you are right Duality.

I remember we stopped using coins around the time heavy 1 naira coins was introduced.

Actually the coin in used for some petty purchase in other developing countries, like buying soft drink and laundry, he in Nigeria we don't have all dos, i guess thatz what makes it useless

inflation will not allow it.

Please,don't tell me Nigeria still mints coins because that would be serious money down the drain.
If they wanna bring back the coin culture,let them mint N5 denominations.

just walkin by

good point

makes a lot of sense since £1 is about N250 anyways
but i don't knw about the 500 or N1000 coin how will u stray dat at a party lol

ppl rejects it, even if u bring N10 worth in coins to purchase an item worth N10, the market woman would reject it, so it the mentality attached to it, as worthless, i remenber when i was still very young we value coins, and we saved and valued it if its been given to us as a gift, but now e don change, make u make mistake give small pickin coins now, even if the coins wey u give am worth N20, e go use am stone u

If you can't use coins to buy something as small as sweet, what else will you use it for?Spraying?

coins are used in the nothern parts of nigeria

u go gree use am??

We still use coins. Who says we don't? I checked my phone credit balance and it shows =N=1239.20. the .20 is 20 Kobo

5, 10, 20 and 50 naira suppose be coins as our 1 kobo and 2 kobo no go fit buy anyting

inflation inflation inflation, hello
