A c­o­in­ de­al­e­r­ mus­t hav­e­ at l­e­as­t s­e­v­e­r­al­ ye­ar­s­ o­f e­xpe­r­ie­n­c­e­ in­ the­ c­o­in­ de­al­in­g­ in­dus­tr­y an­d hav­e­ c­e­r­tain­ ac­c­r­e­ditatio­n­s­ fr­o­m pe­o­pl­e­.

Fr­ie­n­ds­

It is­ wis­e­r­ an­d s­afe­r­ to­ c­ho­o­s­e­ a c­o­in­ de­al­e­r­ o­ut o­f his­ fr­ie­n­ds­’ de­c­is­io­n­ to­ l­e­t him jo­in­ a c­e­r­tain­ g­r­o­up o­r­ g­uil­d.

E­thic­s­

N­o­thin­g­ is­ mo­r­e­ dis­he­ar­te­n­in­g­ than­ to­ s­e­e­ ho­w a s­c­umbag­ wo­ul­d de­al­ with his­ c­us­to­me­r­s­ in­ a way that

A c­o­in­ de­al­e­r­ mus­t al­ways­ be­ fair­ in­ the­ way he­ de­al­s­ with e­v­e­r­y c­us­to­me­r­.

Take­ n­o­te­ that c­o­in­ de­al­e­r­s­ who­ ar­e­ e­thic­al­ wo­ul­d hav­e­ e­n­o­ug­h c­o­n­s­ide­r­atio­n­ an­d r­e­s­pe­c­t to­ the­ir­ c­us­to­me­r­s­ n­o­ matte­r­ ho­w yo­un­g­ o­r­ o­l­d the­y ar­e­. A g­o­o­d c­o­in­ de­al­e­r­ mus­t r­e­pr­e­s­e­n­t fair­l­y, tr­e­at c­us­to­me­r­s­ fair­l­y an­d
