Lottery Retailers
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

They are distinguishing between coins and paper money, that's all.

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.

ficha, efectivo
Coin may be "Monedas" but also "fichas". "Fichas" is is what you put into a video game machine in order to play it. So in this context there is a little difference between using cash or coins. In spanish, a "ficha" what you use in a Cassino and those kind of places (these red, blue and white chips).
Hope it helps.
