If the £10 Bank Of England note is not legal tender in Scotland.Then why have i used a cash macine in Glasgow City Centre & it has given me a Bank Of England £10 or £20 note & i have been able to use it no problem?
For the same reason that you've been able to use your credit card or your cheque book in shops. You're making a purchase, not settling a debt. The concept of 'Legal Tender' is irrelevant.
Probably would've taken you an hour to sort it, and listening to The Archers or something while doing it, the time would've gone in no time! Still, if you want to line Coinstar's pockets, that's up to you!
Too right, I'd happily pay £2 or whatever it was to avoid listening to the Archers for an hour and then having to troll down to the bank weighed down with bags of coins!
Ugh it's so irritating when customers dump a load of change on the counter! Working in a shop it's happened loads to me.
If you count it and put in in cash bags your less likely to annoy someone though (They can be obtained from abnks and post offices)
I refuse to use them coinstar machines as I think 7.9% is ridiculous.
I counted £29 worth of 5ps yesterday (took about 30 mins) - if I used the machine it would have took away £2.29!!

But £2.29 for 30 minutes work is less than minimum wage.
Jusst wondering as I have tonnes of 5 pence pieces and need some petrol..
Yes they can refuse any form of payment they wish, there is no legal obligation fro them to sell you any goods, or indeed to even permit you on the premises. Entry to a shop is at the discretion of the managers adn once in the rules they set including payment methods must be followed.
Taxi drivers refuse cheques because they take time to clear and there is no garuntee they wont bounce.

Have passed this link onto the Xmas collections committee. So simple but brilliant.

There is enough copper in the old ones to make them worth more if you melted them down and sold them for scrap...
Haha maybe i can try that one day

That's illegal to do in UK, I think you have to take it to France
