Is it reasonable for the conductor to refuse a dime and say that no one wants it?

Recently, a conductor refused to accept a dime. What the hell happened?

On the morning of August 10, the ticket seller at Window 2 of East Bus Terminal in Ankang City, Shaanxi Province called a dime "no", which was exposed by netizens' video. In the video, a male passenger is buying a ticket with 5 coins 1, but the female conductor at the ticket window is unwilling to accept coins, indicating that "coins are not wanted", while passengers constantly emphasize that coins are legal RMB and the station should not refuse them. At the passenger's insistence, the conductor accepted the coin. Once the video was exposed, netizens condemned the ticket seller for rejecting 1 cent.

Although there are very few people who use a dime in life, it is obviously unreasonable to refuse a dime. By understanding the relevant laws, we can know that:

According to Article 3 of the Regulations on the Administration of Renminbi in People's Republic of China (PRC), the legal tender in People's Republic of China (PRC) is Renminbi, which refers to the currency issued by the People's Bank of China according to law, including banknotes and coins. No unit or individual may refuse to pay all public or private debts in People's Republic of China (PRC) in RMB.

Nowadays, mobile payment is becoming more and more popular, and cash payment is getting less and less, with very little money. Nevertheless, the law has clearly stipulated that no unit or individual can refuse legal tender. Since there is still a dime in circulation in the market, and it is also the legal tender stipulated by the state, it shows that a dime still has its uses. If you don't have a dime, it almost means that people who shop in cash can only buy goods that are multiple of 0.5 yuan's, which will bring trouble to many people.

In a word, the conductor's practice is obviously unreasonable and will certainly not be accepted by the public.
