So earlier in the week I tried to use my 2015, silver, 1oz britannia to try and buy some milk from Tesco with no success. So today I went to Greggs (a pastry and sandwich shop) to see if I could spend it when I bought a custard slice.
Well I picked a silly time to go, early morning rush hour traffic..... Standing at the back of the 10 deep que, we do love a good que in this country, I didn't really get much time to take many pics. But here is a pic of the lovely sandwich/baguette section.
I got to the front and with now another 10 people behind me waiting I ordered my custard slice. "£1" the young lady said, to which I handed over my britannia. She held it, looked at it, looked at it again, looked at it AGAIN, then said "sorry I don't know what this is and showed it to a colleague.
I explained what it was, but with the ever growing hoard of hungry/thirst 9to5ers I thought it best to just hand over a £1coin and get the hell out of dodge.
So another place off the list that would rather fake, fiat currency rather than a solid silver coin
OK, so where next? Some people suggested McDonald's, so I guess I'll give that a go soon
I take them. I take anything that says .999. And .9999's is even better.

Well depends on your definition of luck..... I still have my coin, so that's lucky! Finding anyone to take my silver coin, that knows the price and value of silver.... No luck 😉

I love that ur doing this! People always tell cryptos arent real money, to that I say go pay for something in silver or gold and then tell me how cryptos arent real money. :)
Dont get me wrong, i love silver i just dont think of it as money anymore. But i do think it is extremely valuable, so dont go selling it just yet.

Well my plan wasn't actually to prove that you can't spend silver. I was actually hoping they would snap my hand off. So far not a single person I've spoke to knew it was silver, let alone a 1oz britannia.

Thats crazy no one knew what they were!?! Well sad really i guess, they dont even know what true money looks like... what has this world come to? :/
Yes i understand that wasnt ur point but that is exactly my point. A lot of people, especially stackers or older generation in general say that "cryptos arent real money" but silver and gold are. Last time i checked i could buy stuff with cryptos, sure not a lot but at least its somewhat spendable. Not precious metals tho. Dont get me wrong, i LOVE silver, but i love it because of its unique properties. i dont think it will ever actually be valued properly as money, it is far to manipulated to ever make any real gains that way. saying that, i think it will one day be worth closer to $1000 an oz. New Technologies needs silver. So keep stacking my friend ;)

This is fantastic mate. I cant wait to see all the places you try.
I would be funny if WH Smith had a coin book/mag with a brittannia on front and you tried to pay for it with your Brit. WH Smith
Just woke up and would kill for a Greg's Jambon and couple of sausauge rolls.
