There really isn’t much you can do with a solo £1 coin in London, but if there was ever an excuse for a Maccies Chicken Mayo, it is now.
You have two weeks to gather all those grubby round coins and bank ’em or spend ’em before they become void. From October 15, the old coins will no longer count as legal tender, and only those flashy 12-sided ones will be accepted in shops, vending machines, trolleys, etc. If, after this date, you still manage to find some lurking about, you’ll have to head to a bank, building society or post office to trade them in. But we’d much rather just have an excuse to spend them…
Yes, this is really boring news – but we’re just here to give you a helpful nudge and irresponsibly encourage you to buy cheap stuff you don’t need, just for the sake of it.
