The suggestions give pièce as a translation for change,but then reject it for pièces de monnaie!

Brianary....we actually said and say "change purse"...of course in my very old generation : )) AND I am now using one as the zipper broke in the change section of my wallet AND a lot of people still pay for things in cash and recieve coins back....of course not for cars, boats, houses in cash : ))

This is my question too - I got marked wrong for putting "pièces" and not "pièce de monnaies". I thought the context disambiguated.

At least two dictionaries document "change purse": Macmilan English Dictionary and Merriam Webster's Advanced Learner's English Dictionary. And we have several people who confirm it.
