Could it be that the English are not mug enough to make something that nobody will have change for, and would be a target of forgers which would have such a damaging effect on the poor soul that got lumbered with a dodgy one?How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

This legal tend argument does not only apply to Scottish notes...
Councils don't have to accept small denominations English "legal tender" as payment for fines. Hence the guys turning up with a shopping trolley full of 1p coins are regularly turned away.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Another good reason to avoid this approach to fine paying is that the 1p coins just fall through the holes in the shopping trolley mesh. Use 2p coins.Originally posted by Bagpuss View Post
