Ive had a few lately I havnt seen or heard of anywhere that doesnt take them, You might have a problem if you change them in the bank because they weigh them. You could try a cash changing machine like the ones in Asda or Tesco, only put a pound in and see what happens first. Youll have to give 7p in the £1 to charity tho all the best The walrus Title: Re: forged £1 coins ident, Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on July 31, 2010, 06:58:05 AM or there is the tesco saving stamps machine as well PHil.
