In this case it is a legal law. However most merchants 'may refuse' .. 
they may also accept if they are inclined to do so.. usually this means 
'not busy'. And most are happy to get some coins in rather than the 
never ending flow of coins out.

And any bank will normally accept an unrestricted number of coins.. they 
have machines for sorting, counting and packaging them so the job is 
easy for them.
