Earlier this year I was at the counter in my bank getting cash out ( more than ATM limit). A man just walked up asking when the new 50p coins would come in. He just butted in. The cashier asked him to go to the reception desk. He asked again. I was about to tell him to **** *** but the cashier got the message across! Cheeky sod!
I have a box of various coins (UK plus foreign) including special editions ( not very valuable) crowns, presentation sets
, some series of £1 coins with various designs, some old pre decimal UK coins inc silver sixpences and two new £1 coins we struck ourselves on a visit to the Mint at Llantrisant. The town known as Polo....the hole with a mint.
I need to get round to going through them properly to check values.
One bonus we get from the bank is a “Save the change” cashback style payment back to us. When we use our cards to pay they give us back the top up to the next £ . I make sure when putting petrol in to slip past the whole £. Last time it was £40.01 so I got 99p credited. A nice little earner! So far this month we have had about £18 back. It’s been a busy month!
My guess it is a ploy to reduce cash use and encourage card payment. We’ll take it while it lasts!
