Cents and Gary Neville

[Alan Medic]

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............

That makes me ?2.39 up. What fool gave that piece of history to me? I'll hold on to it I think.

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?
