The coins are legal tender, which the bank is obliged to accept as payment for any debts you might have. They are not novelty coins. You may need to go to a larger branch to do it.

You can legally use them to settle a debt in court.

Why would they? The Royal Mint is a Government business selling all sorts of (IMHO generally overpriced) items. Some of the items they sell are at face value, but it doesn't mean it will be treated as a cash advance.

I've been doing this for years!! Loads of banks accept them.
Never ever had a problem.
Usually take the lot in at once.
They get packed up and sent to the Bank of England. Jobs a good 'un!
Another £30k on the way this week!
They post as a purchase. I'm not sure why anyone would think they would be cash advance??!

It's Thursday so it must mean that it's time for a delicious freshly minted batch of £50 coins to arrive!!
I can smell the silver from here!
The miles just keep on coming!
