Well, in a bid to get the banks account back in black and get some new gear, I've raided my various shrapnel jars....you know the ones - just sling your loose change into a pot and forget about it - well I had four of them and forgot for around half a decade...

So I spent the morning counting....



£294.69!!!! :sun:


The account will still be well in the red after paying it in though

I love finding £5 notes in my jeans

 

[Buckshot]

You can get a decent knife for that
well done

That's a great result, we do something similar too

I empty the copper and silver from my pockets into a Quality Street tin every night after work, we usually get around £70 and go out for a nice meal together.

Keeps her sweet and keeps me in the good books

Not with the restaurant if you pay 70 GBP in coins


Same thing here: I put all coins below 50 Eurocent in a big vase. As a kid I trawled through the supermarket, finding nickels, dimes, quarters and guilders. In a year I found on average 50-60 Guilder (40-ish GBP), did it several years - it bought me my first tent

I used to fill a demijohn with change, you can get quite alot in one of those. I've always wanted one of those ludicrously big whisky bottles to put coppers in but haven't got round to sourcing one yet.

Nowadays I have to have containers which cannot be opened without destroying it, otherwise they get raided and when I go to look it's empty

We call it shrapnel (my bother was in the army and he told the boys that's what it was) and it collects. Surprises you when you count it up though

cheers,

You folk must be rich!
If I emptied my pockets of change I would have nothing to spend!
I rarely see money that you can fold up!
