Bus/Financial - Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino / Lottery Retailers | | Spanish term or phrase: coin, cash | Can someone tell me which is the difference expressed in these phrases between "coin" and "cash". I understand "cash" includes "coin" and "paper money (bills or notes)", then why put them both in the same phrase?
In spanish it would be "moneda, efectivo" which together and excluding sound strange to me.
Thanks.
- Cash or coin is the most popular forms of payment while paying by debit or credit card is less common.
- Minnesota allows retailers to accept coin, cash, debit card and money orders for lottery ticket purchases.
- Lottery retailers in Iowa are permitted to accept coin, cash, checks and debit cards.
Maybe someone in the US can tell me if in this business coin and cash have separate meanings |

Scott Alexander: 10:38pm Apr 10, 2008: By the way, you're quite right that "cash" includes "coins" and "paper money (bills or notes)." I am becoming embarrassed for my fellow Americans (at least the ones working for the lottery commission) who are forgetting proper English!

Where I live, you cannot buy lottery tickets with a credit card. Some of the tickets cost less than one dollar so many customers pay for them with coins. |
