Why dont u buy a box of chewing gum ...Buy a box of Chewing gum and keep it in ur car carry a packet with u in person,every time a cashiers tries to push you with chewing gum for the loose change,1st refuse,but if they insist then give them ur packet and ask for 1 buck .....they will not take it an will arrange to return the coins.
I tried it many times it works well

The trouble is that they ...The trouble is that they aren't allowed to give gum as change.
So a lot of major supermarkets will pick up a piece of gum or chocolate and scan it, so that it adds to the bill and rounds it up to an even number.
Therefore the gum isn't change, but another item of your shopping.
I always just pay with a card these days, that way you only pay for what you want, and not a dirham more.

I even heard a humor that coins are being hoarded and melted to be used for making other more valuable metal products.

To those who complain about ...To those who complain about the lack of coins--They are worth so little. Not even worth the cost of making them. No trick. Just not many coins available. So stop being so petty cheap and accept the candy.

I do need the small change! ...My daughter requires all the small change to use in her school canteen and I love using the 50dhms weighing scales! Besides the candy they offer in return is nothing anyone in my household would consume hence likely to go to waste which IMO is not good so if given an option I'd say "keep the change" and refuse the gum.
I must say though the supermarkets are much better now as compared to a couple years back. Perhaps all our whining on QL may have been heeded by some cos in the recent past I notice many supermarkets actually do carry coins.So hooray for all those ranters!
