No longer accepts 5c coins

I went to spar Miederpark to buy bread, since we had to dig deep into our savings this month we had to pay with a R10 note, two 20 cent coins a 10 cent coin and R2 in 5 cent coins, but the store did not accept the payment as they do not accept 5 cent coins even though it is still legal tender. When I asked the manager he responded by saying that they do not accept it as the bank does not accept it anymore, as I said before, even though it is still legal tender. And now we do not have bread until the 25th
