Re: Advance warning not to hang on to Bank of England notes in the next few years....

The Royal Mint, I believe, are introducing a new set of coin designs, which also points to the idea that we won't be joining the Euro.

Does it? Have you seen the designs? :-)

In view of the fact that the Royal Mint was looking for new designs:

"The Royal Mint has launched a competition to find new designs for six of the UK's coins.

"The winning designs will be used on the "tail side" of coins from the penny to 50p with each designer winning £5,000"

I think we can assume the euro is not going to be one of them.

I got a mailer through my door from someone trying to sell the 'last' set of the current design.

As I've seen absolutely nothing about this elsewhere (including governmnt websites) I took it for a scam.

The politicians would never be stupid enough to order a new set that had to be replaced soon after, oh no.

In banking, branch staff always know when their branch is due for closure because the inside would be refurbished and the outside would be painted and a new illuminated sign installed.

A thorough redecoration was often a good sign that British Rail were going to close a railway station, too.
