Backlash as Treasury suggests 1p and 2p coins could be SCRAPPED
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-SCRAPPED.html
I think the main reason that people fill jars with them is that many places won't accept more than 20 of them per purchase. Plus banks will only accept 3 or 4 bags of them for deposit, per day. And those Coinstar machines that have appeared in supermarkets take a 9.9% cut. In the Netherlands in the late 70's we could drop our loose change into a machine that sorted them and packaged them into neat paper tubes. The banks accepted as many of these as you offered. Maybe UK banks should offer the same service? |

They should get rid of the stupid 5p coin, its too small.
There would then be more use for all the 1p and 2p coins. |

It'll put up prices every thing will be rounded up to the nearest 5p.

They don't like cash. They like to know what you spend your money on. They want to be able to turn on/off your money supply at will. Don't let them own you :devsmoke:

Prefer all the pre-decimal coins. Hate polymer notes when I use them (rarely).
