A belated thank you for this information - ultimately not at all

I imagine the cost and hassle factor basically rules it out, and
acceptance of foreign coinage just isn't a done thing.

There are London businesses that will not even accept Scottish
currency, although I suspect that they a legally obliged to do so.
There have been times when I have refused to pay with anything else,
having no English money about my person.

No, they are not legally obliged to accept them.
