[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 474578, member: 39"]Have not read all the comments on that page, but as explained somewhere over there, we have similar regulations in Europe. In the UK, the pound coins (£1, £2 and the rare £5) are unlimited legal tender. With pennies it depends - 1p and 2p up to an amount of 20p; 5p and 10p up to £5; 20p and 50p up to £10.
