currency query

My husband and I last went to USA for our honeymoon - to California. We're off to Orlando next Easter to celebrate our 15th anniversary, my 40th (ouch!) and the last time we can take the boys out of school before eldest goes to secondary school in September.

Anyway, cut to the chase, while I was looking through my honeymoon photo album I found a few coins and a $ or two left from 1990 (goodness knows how I didn't spend them - I'd spent everything else!). Will these still be legal tender, or have the bills/coins changed since then?

Like I said, I've got very little "souvenir" money, but it would be useful to know if I could use it for tolls etc. (and pressed pennies).

Also, do UK pennies also work in pressed penny machines?

Still legal tender, even if it was from 1890!

Don't know about UK pennies.

Wow! You sure do hang on to your currency!

Ours seems to change with the weather (perhaps because we have so much of it....)

Thanks for your help

Yes all bills/coins are still legal, you might want to compare them to the new bills we have now, Might be intresting to compare before spending. I don't know if UK pennies will work, but our penny is cheaper than yours, so I wouldn't waste the difference. Any coinage that is modified is no longer leagel tender.

I'm going at Easter too!! Check out the counter!!
