This isn't as bad as it sounds, in fact, as many things (credit cards, for example) are not legal tender but are widely accepted in shops etc. More at https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/knowledgebank/what-is-legal-tender https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/knowledgebank/what-is-legal-...

It's true that for practical purposes the fact that (particularly in the South) people are suspicious and won't accept them as payment for goods you want to purchase is much more important, but the topic was legal tender and they are not legal tender. Go look it up.
