There's a limit above which a shop etc can legally refuse to accept coppers!!
Can't remember what the value limit is though!
I doubt they would, but just in case they knew this and tried to turn it round and make you look silly if you said they legally had to accept it

just found this

According to the Coinage Act of 1971, 1ps and 2ps are only legal tender up to the value of 20p. But that doesn't mean you can't pay more than that in pennies if the person or business you're paying agrees.

Legal tender has a very narrow meaning in the UK. Put simply, you can't be successfully sued for non-payment of a debt if you give the correct amount of money in legal tender. That's it.

Everything else is up to the two parties involved in the transaction.

And fans of wacky ways to protest can take heart from one thing: £1 and £2 coins are legal tender up to any amount you like. Even if they're frozen in ice or put in a bathtub full of honey.

What coins can you pay with:
1p - for any amount not exceeding 20p
2p - for any amount not exceeding 20p
5p - for any amount not exceeding £5
10p - for any amount not exceeding £5
20p - for any amount not exceeding £10
50p - for any amount not exceeding £10
£1 - for any amount
£2 - for any amount

The rules for notes:

You can pay any amount in bank notes but:

Bank of England notes are not legal tender in Scotland or Northern Ireland
Scottish and Northern Irish banknotes are not legal tender in England and Wales

But while shops are under no obligation to take Scottish or Northern Irish notes in England and Wales (and vice versa), as the Bank of England explains in practice you may well have no problems at all using them.

Blimey, I always thought Scottish notes were legal tender :eek:
Not that that makes a difference to my day to day life :rotfl:

And why are there no Welsh banknotes? Mind you they would probably say '' I promise to pay the bearer now in a minute''

So are we on or off for tomorrow? I wonder. Everything crossed here, especially as I have just sat for an age writing new lists.
