foxy boxing Posted 11 April 2017 Posted 11 April 2017 Anyone tried going Aldi with the new one pound for the trolley yet!
Brainy Posted 11 April 2017 Posted 11 April 2017 We have a few bags at work, I could get you a bag of £20 for £400 incl P+P

Had at least 25 pass through my hands. I think that's something to do with you guys having the Euro by the end of 2018.

I know its a little bit sad but i did when i got my first new £5 note You think that's sad, I haven't spent a new £5 note yet. I'm been collecting and saving them since last October and every time I get one in change I keep it and put it in an envelope at home. Current total: £835

By my reckoning it now holds 167 £5 notes. And I've had some of the new £1 coins. They look a bit like the old thrupenny bit that I used to collect as a child. Probably worth the same now.
The Blur Posted 12 April 2017 Posted 12 April 2017 Got offered five quid by a family relative for my pound coin when I received it last Sunday, it was first time that either of us saw it I did not take the offer, just gave it to him for free.

How do you measure familial stupidity?

Sounds like a bit of a challenge to the forgers to me. It's not they are impossible I think, but that it would cost so much to be able to it wouldn't be worth it.

Xen Posted 12 April 2017 Posted 12 April 2017 They were only released at a small handful of banks and post offices (think 30 in the initial phase?). Nearest was Birmingham, so not a surprise that they haven't been seen too often here yet.
Collymore Posted 12 April 2017 Posted 12 April 2017 Am i the only one who uses the outside edge of a rounded house key for the trolly? One of the most useful life hacks I use...
Hollism Posted 12 April 2017 Posted 12 April 2017 I get my change (for work) from NatWest in Oadby. We had £200 worth of them the day after they came out. A lot of people are commenting that it's the first one they've had when we give them change.

Tuna Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 I have only one given to me by a customer, I gave it to my mum !!!
Wymsey Posted 15 April 2017 Posted 15 April 2017 The style looks well-made and appears more valuable to look at than the old £1 coin. The old £1 coin can still be used as normal until 16th October, when from that date it won't be legal to use anymore.

They're too light.

I've gone to put my trolley back a couple of times and found my pound coin, or the token you can get the same size, has wriggled out the slot in the trolley at some point and I've not noticed. Would be pretty pissed of if that happened with my house key.
Beliall Posted 15 April 2017 Posted 15 April 2017 Got my first one today in the self service checkout. stood there holding up the queue while i admired it
