And suggesting spending it, just because shops won't accept it, is certainly not what I'd expect from this site.
If you miss the 30 September deadline - or you also still have the old paper £5 and £10 notes or the old 'round pound' - here's what to try:
Barclays, Halifax, Lloyds, Nationwide, NatWest and Santander have all previously told us you can deposit old coins and notes into your account. However, PayPoint, which allows Monzo users to deposit cash into their accounts, said you'll have to go to the Bank of England to swap old notes. We're checking if this info still stands and we'll update this story when we know more.
You can also do this by post, which may be the only option for those who don't live or work in London – though if you do this, consider paying extra for a delivery service that provides compensation if your post goes missing. You can find out more on the Bank of England website. The BoE will not accept old coins.
