Brown coins
 

anyone ever use them?

Yes in some Shops I do not Like.

No - pretty pointless

all they serve now is for retailers/food establishments to price stuff at .99p just so it looks cheaper

oh and 2p machines at the amusements, lol

why go into these shops?

Yes If I am stuck and unable to go to into
the shops I prefer.

on average i enter 1-3 shops per week

what do you average?

I just put them in my tin at home.

I use them for the arcades sometimes, other than that they are pretty pointless. Always feel awkward counting out copper when people are behind you lol

wrong thread lol

More than that.

There is a Solution for this
Pre-Count the amount you need (if you know it)
take it in another pocket.

:shocked:
too exciting! ... how many shops arista?!!! how many shops?!!!

You steal them from donations tins in the very shops you try to off load them.

No.


Donation Tins are not in the Shops I Visit.

It is not Exciting


London has many small shops as well as the big ones.

anti-climax...
my money was on 2 to 3 shops a day. I even toyed with the fact you might go to 3 or 4.... oh my giddy aunt I wonder how many shop you...shop... at.

I cant touch them. I either throw them out or give them to my friend.

They annoy me too, I tried to rid of some at the self checkout the other week since they usually have no queues, and it wouldn't even accept half of them!

They go in my son's hugh plastic coke bottle - every time I get copper, which is a handful every day, it goes in there - there must be quite an amount in there now! It can probably hold several hundred pounds worth!

They go in a jar and I bag them up and bank them every now and again

Yeah I sit in the car sometimes and count out enough in the brown coins to buy what I want and get great pleasure in handing them over. I feel satisfied.

Shops have the right to refuse an 'unreasonable amount' of loose change

that is racist

I put them in a sock and will one day use it as a weapon.

Don't be daft!!!!!



... it's coin-ist

*hiss*

Don't. Get caught and the coppers will arrest you...

I pile them on a bookcase but every morning they vanish. Must be the copper fairy, who takes them. It makes me happy knowing they do good, the happiness rubs off on my daughter who goes to school happy and jingling.

What happened to Shaun's Room 101? I miss that :(

Are we talking about coins with Gordon Brown's face on them or coins like the old coppers from the 80s and 90s that are basically completely brown.

I have 16 pound something in coppers..

:)

I use them in public most of the time. I throw them in the floor in large groups of people and watch everyone look around desperately. When I get them in change at a shop though they go straight into charity boxes

Thank you for your input, Captain Obvious.

Spend it in
Land Grabbers Evil Tesco.

Yeah I wasn't sure if we were talking about coppers or dirty coins...

Coppers - I'm collecting them in a tin, planning on being a dick and spending them all at once in a shop on something, lolz. Dirty coins - sometimes I clean them because it's pretty satisfying, but normally I just spend them with no second thought.

I put them in a piggy bank from childhood, then one time my mothly Visa bill might be only a tenner or so, I go pay in 1ps and 2ps to amuse me. In germany I'm worse with sh1t in Euros - just give change (cents) to homeless when out there.

coins have no power of arrest

although I did once get a thick ear from a £2 coin
