The legal tender status of the round £1 coin will be withdrawn from 23.59 on Sunday 15 October 2017. From this date, we will no longer be accepting these coins anywhere in the Museum.
If a visitor tries to pay for anything with a round £1 coin after this date, please tell them politely that it is no longer legal tender. They will still be able to bank their round coins…..or, until the end of the year, they can drop them into one of our collection boxes and help support our work as an educational charity!
