Old coins and legal tender

[Roland Watson]

I know the old coins such as florins and shillings are no longer legal
tender, but can they still be exchanged at a bank for decimal money?

Thanks,

Roland.

I have a huge box of coins, the wonderful 14 sided theepenny-bits,
tanners, farthings, Maundy threepences and some (rather rusting!) £5
coins.

My grandmother (in her old age) was found trying to pay a hairdresser
using gold sovreigns. The hairdresser refused to accept them as she
thought they were worthless foreign coins and granny was indignant.

I also have a box of old UK coins that I don't know how to dispose of.

I guess you are not going to the bank with them!

You could try ebay but the postage cost of such a heavy lot may put off
most.

What are those £5 coins then?

Roland.
