Traders in Ketu South refuse 20 pesewas
YEN.com.gh reported that traders in towns such as Agbozume, Denu, and Aflao within the Ketu South Municipality gradually stopped accepting the 20 pesewas coin in daily transactions.
As a result, items that should cost 20p are now being sold for 50p, creating frustration among people living in that region.
The Ketu South Assembly announced plans to roll out a sensitisation programme to address the situation and remind traders that the coin remains legal tender.
