Boring question: Does anyone know any banks/institutions that would still replace the old £1 coin

[VladmirsPoutine]

Pretty much just that. I've a relative with a jar of the old £1 coins and hoping I can get them replaced for her.

TIA!

All the banks I've been in still do -Natwest, Barclays, Santander

All banks will. You might have to make an appointment if it’s a massive amount.

The Bank of England I think.
Not sure if high street banks still do it.

Nationwide accepted mine into my current account last week.

post office still take them

NatWest took coins and old ten pound notes last week. They gave cash back and didn't pay it into my account but they did check my account details.

All banks will. They'll still change pre-decimal money if you have any.

I took 8 into my local HSBC branch about a week ago and they changed them for me.

Pretty sure you can still pay them into your account. But if you take it into one where you don’t have account they won’t change it for you.

It depends on how old they are. Some coins and notes will only be exchanged at the Bank of england

Your own bank should take them. Check first though as they may not accept more than a few bags at a time. Unless it’s a children’s account.

Thanks all! For some reason I thought there was a deadline so if you hadn't changed them by then, the coins would basically become worthless as no-one would accept them. They aren't ancient coins , just the former version of the current coin.

Tesco self service still takes them. Not sure it is supposed to but they do.

The deadline was for spending them in shops etc. The banks will still exchange them, or pay them into your account.

They'll still change pre-decimal money if you have any.

Will they really, Back? Have you tried it?

@thisisjustdaft "exchange" was the word I was looking for but for whatever reason it had completely escaped me! That's what I meant!

yes my mother in law had really old 10 pound notes so old they were white and the bank took them, you can't pay for them but it promises to pay the bearer £10 its a promise forever by Bank of England however it is only worth face value

with a note that old obviously auction is better but the bank of England would give you a new £10 note in exchange

The bank of England will always accept old money so any old fivers or old pound coins keep and take to your bank and they will swap for you.
