£50 note withdrawal

And, especially relevant, Southern Irish punts (pounds).

No, he wouldn't.

That's a somewhat ironic comment given that you have been repeatedly demonstrating that you are too thick to understand the quite simple point that has been explained to you over and over again.

Yes, thanks, I did, there are maximum amounts, which ICBA to look up. But General Scott is looking them up for us as we speak.......

Sadly the 'Major' is convinced that he is *always* correct.

Thanks for that. But you have now done Major Scott's homework for him..........

Ummm... no, he wouldn't. You would have an order made against you. You would have to pay in Legal Tender. And you would certainly be obliged to pay the Court Costs that you incurred, in Legal Tender. (Or in something acceptable to the court office).

No.

Because the Post Office are in a position to recognise whether the notes you are offering are in fact genuine and worth what they say, and also they are in a position to get them back to a proper bank, and also because (contrary to popular belief) they regard it as good customer service.

I doubt if IQ is even taken into consideration.

And there are Gibraltar Pound Sterling notes and coins too, which are issued by the Government of Gibraltar but are not normally accepted by anyone in the UK. In fact I'm not sure that even UK banks will take them.

I rather foolishly got stuck with several of them after a trip there.

Which makes them legal, but NOT necessarily legal tender. If I tried to pay for my shopping with leaves I'd get into trouble.

I have corrected your post for you. Plerase remember your coat on the way out, and shut the dorr after you.

Bye bye.

Is it true that 30% (!) of 1 coins are not real?

---------- There is indeed a rumour that 30% of 1 coins are not real.

If that were the case I could get fined a shilling for not going to church. There is intelligence in judges you know.

So a weekly shop of 75 is not legal in coins OR notes? Oh for crying out loud.

IT WOULD BE LEGAL TENDER IF IT WAS 75 1 COINS - IN SCOTLAND (or anywhere else in UK).

(you could even pay 40p in bronze, 5.00 in 5p, 5.00 in 10p, 9.60 in 20 p, 10.00 in 25p pieces if you can find them, 10.00 in 50p pieces, and the remainig 40.00 in 1 coins, if you were sufficiently haemophrenic, which you so obviously are - and that WOULD be legal tender). (Not sure if the small amount maxima are mutually exclusive - I assume they are not)

I thought there had been cases of motorists paying in coins out of frustration, and they had to accept it.

------------------------------------------------------ Think again. They don't HAVE to accept it.

So someone without a bank account couldn't pay? Yeah right. Didn't say that.

And thankfully 99.9999999% of people don't stick to the above, or there would be chaos.

I think I have discovered your problem!!!!

You only read the bits you WANT to read!!!

Note that the £1 coin has legal tender status up to any amount.

A case of "I was only ever wrong once, and then I only thought I was wrong.". It's a clear case, as they say around here, of "you can't educate pork"!

Well, he's certainly not bright enough to do it himself. I don't know about "Major Scott", more like a major calamity!

There are Jersey notes and coins too...

In what way?

get far if they didn't accept it. Say a plumber did work for me in my house, and I paid him in Scottish banknotes, then he refused to accept them and sued me for non-payment. He'd be laughed out of court. Ergo they ARE legal tender.

How about if you offered to pay a 5000 bill with 1p coins? I think in that case it is very likely that your offer would be refused and you'd be sued if you refused to pay any other way.
