The new style coin mechs can be programmed to accept any type of coin,token even washers
We have been programming our mechs since late last year to accept the new pound coin
Problem is many companies have old machines, my husbands company buys second hand from other companies. I can't see them investing in new mechs anytime soon.
If anyone is wealthy enough to save £20 notes crammed in an old Bells whiskey bottle I'm supposing you live in Buckinghamshire on a stud farm.
I think it's always wise to cash these coins in and I don't think I've ever heard of a single instance of anyone being caught out enough to suddenly realise new money in tendered and old wares are obsolete?
