An entirely new set of UK coins will start to enter circulation at the end of the year to mark the new monarch and his love of the natural world.

      I use cash pretty much everyday. I purposely do so over contactless. Cash is freedom. Cash is anonymous. Cash is king. Don’t give up on it or you’ll be sorry when it’s gone.

      On topic, I love the new coins.

      You’d be surprised. Car wash, barbers, boot sales, market stalls, charity collections, church collections, anywhere that the network or card machine is broken, village fetes, school fetes, church fates, collection boxes, people that have lost their phone or bank card.

      More than you’d think to be fair. Lots of older people still rely on it, and homeless people might not necessarily have a bank account or a working debit card to use at a checkout.
