    hardly ever use cash but Saturday afternoon we had a treat and hubby got us a chippy dinner - didn't realise until Monday that there was an old £1 coin in the change, just a good job only the one!!

    Tried to spend some I’d found in an old jar in Aldi today.

    Infuriating that the till assistant, and two store managers had no idea they were still taking these and refused despite showing them several articles.

    Phoned the helpline when I got home and they contacted the store to correct them, but that didn’t help me who went to Aldi specifically because they were accepting these still.

    Feels like they enjoyed the free press to get people into store and spend, but weren’t entirely serious about it all.

    Will have to find time to get to the post office.
