<p>[QUOTE="ErolGarip, post: 2844831, member: 88736"]If the price label is written so, such as $2,999, I ask for the gas station to give my $0,001, i.e. one Mill when I buy one gallon of gas. If putting such a price label is legal, not giving the Mill back is illegal then when requested... You must be wrong. Officially the smallest denomination in the US is the cent. </p><p>Here are legal denominations: </p><p><a href="https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Coins/Pages/denominations.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Coins/Pages/denominations.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Coins/Pages/denominations.aspx</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>where it says: </p><p><br /></p><p>"...U.S. coins currently are made in the following six denominations: cent, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar..." </p><p><br /></p><p>and </p><p><br /></p><p>"...As the United States Mint produces the coins that Congress mandates, it does not have the authority to abolish a unit of currency..."</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: So, in Numismatist definition of "coin", the term "governmental authorities" is the "Congress" then. However, one wonders whether the Congress members have "one cent" in their pockets or not. If not, the term "governmental authorities" in the numismatist definition of coin should be deleted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
