Mint

[baggiebloke]

I was about to say early 80s for the sixpence, I remember using them in the 70s. Can't see the benefit of changing the coins because retailers will have to round everything up which is against their selling beliefs (10.99 looks cheer than £11), I would imagine the mint will reduce the number of coins printed because we are fast going cashless anyway.

£10.99 for card payment, £11.00 for cash.  Simples, seeing as you correctly state, we’re heading towards a cashless society which Covid has assisted.

It's almost certainly an age thing but I nearly always pay cash. I like to see how my notes are going down as a reminder how much I've got through. I had a nightmare one week this summer, went to a wedding in Somerset, card only all day, and a test at Lords, card only again. The following midweek I checked the bank account and I'd been cleaned out. Also, it takes forever to remember some of the charges, I always reckon someone has been robbing me. Cash never lies.
