1 \section{Fees per coin} \label{sec:fees:coin} 2 3 Payments with Taler are always made using coins. Each coin has a specific 4 denomination, and an exchange will issue coins in different denominations (in 5 the same currency). The fees per coin depend on the operation and the 6 denomination. 7 8 The primary fee to be paid is a {\bf deposit} fee that is 9 charged whenever a coin is fully or partially deposited 10 into a bank account or another wallet. 11 12 A secondary fee to be paid is a {\bf change} fee that is 13 charged whenever a coin partially spent and change must 14 be rendered. 15 16 Coins also have an {\bf expiration} date of approximately {\bf one year}. 17 After the expiration date, coins become worthless. Wallets that are online 18 {\bf three months} {\em before} a coin expires will automatically trade any 19 such coins for one or more fresh coins with a later expiration date. This 20 process is also subject to the {\bf change} fee. 21 22 23 \begin{table}[h!] 24 \caption{Fees per coin.
