Question

Does london still take the pound coin from the 80's?

Answer 1

Yes, the pound coin is still in use. However most of our other coins have changed- over the last 20 years our 5p, 10p, and 50p coins have become smaller, we have a 2 pound coin now, and no 1 pound note (except in Scotland). So if you have 5p, 10p or 50p, they won't be allowed, but £1s are fine.

Answer 2

Yes.  And if shops won't take them, you can get new ones at any bank.  But, I've only heard of their paper money being outdated, not coins.

Answer 3

Yes. The most common pound coin is still the one from its year of introduction, in 1983.
