Under the Currency Act (Cap. 69), currency notes and coins issued by Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) are legal tender in Singapore.

根据《货币法》（第69章），新加坡金融管理局（MAS）发行的纸币和硬币在新加坡为法定货币。

As legal tender, they are recognised by law to be valid means for payment.

作为法定货币，它们在法律上是被认可并有效的付款方式。

All coin denominations can be used by a customer to make payment but up to a limit of 20 coins per denomination for each transaction.

客户可以使用任何面额硬币进行付款，但每次交易最多只能用每种面额20枚硬币。

These are known as legal tender limits.

这被称为法定货币限额。

The rationale for having them is to minimise the payee's inconvenience and cost in handling large quantities of low denomination currency, as well as prevent acts of mischief.

设置它们的理由是为了最大程度地减少收款人在处理大量低面额货币时的不便和成本，并防止恶作剧。

A payee is obliged to accept payment up to these limits but may reject payments exceeding these limits.

收款人有义务接受不超过这些限制的付款，但可以拒绝超过这些限额的付款。
