The date is on the other side at each side of the crown.

So if you own a business and require lots of small change, that means if you go in the bank and ask for a quids worth of 1p coins, the bank is breaking the law.
I've been in TSB many a time when market traders have come in for change.

Retlaw.

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

Daft as it sounds i think traders have TO PAY to put coins IN the bank? sure one will come on n say if this is correct.:confused:

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

Criminal (in my mind) Banks over here are now refusing to take large amounts of coins over the counter and installing coin machines for folks wanting to get rid of the 'whiskey tubes/bottles' of coins and raking in a percentage of the take, even if you have an account with them, used to be you only saw these machines in the supermarkets for use by street people :eek: :eek:

on the new coins, the ones with part of the shield on the date is on the queens head side.

Don't know about putting coins in cashy but the banks used to charge for giving out change to people with business accounts

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

if you try and pay in coppers then the shop doesnt have to accept it.

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

Its surprising just how much these type of things are worth. Being a very keep philatalist (well used to be don't bother much these days) stamps misprinted and without things like perforations are like gold dust and very saute after

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

The pound shop wont take coppers

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

awwww, thats really sad :D

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

A shop doesn't have to accept cash at all! Likewise there is no legal obligation to give change.

Whether the shop would stay in business if it implemented either of these is another matter, though.

"Legal tender"is simply payment that satisfies a debt, if offered. As most shops hand over the goods when payment is received, then there is no debt. If you try to buy something for £20 using 1p coins, the shop can either accept it or not. If it won't accept it, you're not then entitled to walk out with the item, nor is any offence committed.

You can satisfy a debt in any way that is mutually acceptable: cash, cheque, credit card, cattle, sexual favours etc - but if an offer is made to settle a debt using legal tender (the coins and amounts specified earlier) and that offer is refused, the debt is still legally satisfied.

in any amount? is that cause they don't need it for change
