Banners threepenny bits

[woggle]

I dont know if my grandad was joking, but when I was a kid he told me Banners had their own threepenny bits that could only be spent in the store.

sometimes you got them in your change, it sounds a bit odd and no one else seems to remember it.

hes right they had their own coins we called them banners checks

Banners cheques were the pieces of paper you gave to the salesperson when you bought something and they gave you coins back which you could only spend in the store.

Banners issued tokens in various denominations that could only be spent in the store. Here is one that was recently sold on eBay.

There are other threads about Banners and Attercliffe that you could look at if you are really interested.

Thanks I will have a hunt for the other threads, I just thought he was having me on, he's no longer with us, its just something I remembered him telling me years ago
