I don’t know about other jurisdictions, but in Canada there is actually a law in place that allows the receiver of a payment to refuse more than a certain amount of the payment in coins.
A quick googling turns up this Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_tender
The net-net is that an armoured truck full of coins is not necessarily “legal tender” in every country.
