samboy Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hi gang. Just had my cleaning lady text me to say i have given her 3 old pound coins. I will have to be more observant in future when i receive loose change. Just googled them and there are still millions out there. So stay alert.

Lsto Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'm pretty sure the bank's still swap them if you take them in, I changed some up just before Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricko Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I found a few whilst tidying up. I taped them to a piece of card and posted them through the door of my bank with a paying in slip in an envelope. They were credited to my account with no problem.

strimmer_13 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) I must admit, late in my 30s i became rather sad and started collecting coins. Its a thing my fathers side has done for decades, theres thousands going back. I have books full of old pound coins and any special editions currency currently out there. Hopefully my grandkids (if i have any)in 30 years will be asking 'whats a coin?' and then ill be able to bore him to death about the time a loaf of bread cost the same as this little recyclable lump of metal 😅 Edited February 3, 2022 by strimmer_13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so that the cleaning lady doesn't think that you're scruffy . My cleaning lady was as good as gold . If the cleaning didn't take very long , she'd have a look what was missing out of the fridge and cupboards , and go shopping, or, if a bill was sitting around , she'd pay it out of her own pocket , and tell me how much I owed her .

I rarely have to pay cash for anything involving change, and when I do any ‘shrapnel’ goes into my pocket with barely a glance to be chucked on a bedside table and hoovered up by wlfey’s purse.
