New Policy on Change Exchange May Lead to Fees
Although convenient card payment is possible everywhere, many customers at gas stations still resort to cash. This means that gas station operators must always have enough change on hand. However, coin money is a scarce commodity in retail. Regularly, new coin rolls must be procured for business. Due to an EU law applicable since January 1, 2015, for national authorities, banks, and other credit institutions, businesses may incur fees when exchanging coin money.
