The UK's Royal Mint are preparing to launch a new 50p coin to mark our official departure from the European Union at the end of this week. Sadly those in society who still cling to the notion that somehow we will remain in the EU have announced they will refuse to use this coin and will not accept it if offered in change. All I can say is thank you: that's more of these lovely coins for me LOL.
Seriously though if you're offered "legal tender" coinage and you refuse it, what then? Is the person offering the money obliged to find an alternative or has the person who refused said coin(s) technically waived their rights? Answers please on a postcard or the back of a stuck down envelope to the usual address, as they used to say LOL.
