Charlemagne's Pound Coins


Currently reading a contemporary biography of Charlemagne with two sources.


They pulled no punches in giving nicknames to chroniclers in those days...

I've noticed over the last few weeks that while supermarkets other chains are still taking the old pound coin, independents are palming them off on their customers and just shrugging their shoulders when you ask for new pound coins in your change. The cynic in me wonders if this is a deliberate strategy on their part.
