If anyone takes Villa up on the offer, please post your results here for future ref. thanks
Asked in Villa this week why suddenly many shops were wanting them, apparently no more are being minted so the banks are unable to supply them .Looks like they will soon be discontinued then .About time.

So a lot of rounding up to be conducted, with a free for all, on price increases, No Thai regulator would want to touch it.

Tesco Lotus, Big C, Makro and Villa etc, already employing actuaries to work out their best options perhaps

If at the big shops or petrol stations just pay with an ATM card and no small change required with round up or round down.
Keep the small annoying small coins like my missus does for the cash payment at local markets etc type procurement.
