Well it's been about two weeks or so since I've received these very special tiny coins...

Still, when I want to transfer them from Electrum, it forces me to use a transaction fee.

How old do these coins have to be before I can set a zero transaction fee ?

Thanks

see the technical info : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees
if your transaction does not have a priority higher than the threshold described there, it will not be propagated by the Bitcoin network.

the Electrum client prevents you from sending a transaction that would otherwise not be propagated by the Bitcoin network.
when this protection was not there, the transaction was visible only at one server, misleading users.
