What are my options?

I see I can post it the BoE ... to a nice catchy department
shurely recognisable to all light fingered posties, so that would
need to be sent tracked costing more money...

Are high street banks still taking them in & paying into bank
accounts?

Is the post office still taking them in and crediting a bank account?

Any other options?

TIA

Did you pay into a PO a/c? Or another bank a/c via the PO? Any charges?
Thanks

When I had an old £5 just look it to the nearest branch of my bank (HSBC) and they switched it to a new one over the counter.

I did the same with a tenner at Lloyds. They changed it - but only after
I provided evidence of being a Lloyds customer.

I took a bunch of em to the high street bank last week - they accept
them for paying into an account over the counter, although you can't use
the automated machines to make a depost.

accounts?

Yup, well at least mine did.

Don't know.

My bank says it will but only at a main branch. They are apparently still
getting loads of 1 pound coins fivers and tenners.

I suppose eventually they will stop and I think at the moment its at the
discretion of the bank. Lloyds here does it but the Spanish one seem not
to.

I suppose banks will have accept old coins/notes until all of them in
circulation have been returned to the Bank of England. And that may take a
while if people have stashes of coins/notes that they had forgotten about
and suddenly discover - the odd old pound coin or old paper fiver/tenner in
a pocket of something that isn't worn very often.

I was surprised how quickly the old fivers and tenners disappeared after the
launch date: I saw virtually none after the launch date which suggests that
people very quickly exchanged them at banks, or paid for things in shops
which then banked them rather than giving them back in change.

they'll probably stop after a number of years

I bet if you took 1970s notes into a bank branch they would turn you away.

the "people" that took them to bank will have been shops.

and they wont have sorted them, they will have just gone in with all the
other notes and the bank will have removed the old ones

It's not going to take very long for the quantity old note to dwindle to
nothing if you bank takings daily.

If there are 50% of old notes in your takings on day one there will be as
few as 1 in a thousand on day 10.
