The idea of customers using coins to get a trolley is to get the customer to put it back rather than employ people to put them away, if they issued tokens which are worthless, people wouldn't bother returning the trolley.
As for all the electrical devices that accept pound coins, their coin mechs are programmable these days, only takes a few seconds to get them to take any coins from anywhere in the world.
