I empty my pockets of coins each day and put them in a tin. Each morning I may take some out but gradually the volume in the tin increases as I usually leave the lesser valued coins. A couple of times recently I've had payment not accepted in newsagents and on close inspection it seems I was passing off 50 cents pieces as pounds.


I've reached a conclusion that I need to be more careful and examine change which is given to me. This morning as I was looking closely in the tin I found some more cent coins and lo and behold what I though was a 10p was actually a 1998 World Cup momento coin featuring Gary Neville.


I wonder how much that is worth now............

Fer fecks sake. Been giving up the evil weed but weakened today and decided to sneak out and buy 10. No notes in my wallet (amazing how much less you go to an ATM). So opened the tin box. Excellent, there are some golden ones in there. I won't be humiliated by carrying in a box of 5p's. I pick the obvious ones and dig a bit further for more. You know what I get? A feckin Australian Dollar. It's from 2007. I haven't been there for nearly 20 years. Is this a new scam or am I just falling for it more often?

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
