The question in my mind is now whether or not they take coins - one
can but ask, of course.

If you do, please let us know what their response is. I'm in a similar
situation to your friend. I'd much rather spend the coins in London on
an Oyster top-up than have them sitting in a drawer indefinitely.

Well, why don't you just save them for your next trip to the Eurozone?

Well, that's the status quo: I have no plans to visit the Eurozone, so the
coins will be sitting in my drawer indefinitely. Should I ever have reason
to go to the Eurozone, the coins will come out. But who knows how far in
the future that will be?

Regards,
Tristan
