5p and 10p coins - up to £5 only
20p and 50p coins - up to £10 only

shut up, i think it's mildly interesting/useful to know.

I'm not sure you understand precisely what 'legal tender' means.

in the context of a debt, it has a very narrow meaning. go and look on the royal mint website. that might explain it in words of one syllable.

Debit cards? Not legal tender. Credit cards? Not legal tender. Electronic money? Not legal tender either. Are you trying to say that retailers will insist only on 'legal tender'? They can accept payment in any form they see fit.

No bank notes are legal tender in Scotland, including Scottish bank notes. No Scottish Bank notes are legal tender in England and Wales either but people accept them because as dozer pointed out they can accept payment in any form they see fit.

In everyday transactions, 'legal tender' is meaningless. Hence why you can use debit & credit cards.

people can choose what they want to accept, but they can't force someone else to accept it. it has to be mutual.

'Legal tender' only has a very slim meaning and has zero bearing on what can be accepted as payment for goods or services.
So, while you are correct about small denominations not being legal tender for sums over afew pounds, it's entirely incorrect to say that it's a basis for refusal.
To reiterate, if legal tender meant the basis for acceptance of payment then you couldn't shop online. So your post was both boring and incorrect.
