The Central Bank of Lesotho (CBL) has warned businesses, retailers and public transport operators against refusing 10, 20 and 50 lisente coins, reminding them that all Maloti coins are legal tender.
In a statement, the CBL said Section 27 of the Central Bank of Lesotho Act of 2000 requires businesses to accept the coins unless they are damaged or officially withdrawn.
It urged consumers to report businesses refusing the coins to the nearest police station.
