I'll give you 9 shillings and thruppence ha'penny for the jukebox, I assume that carriage is included as you haven't given a price.

If it's yours, just nobble the mechanism surely? Or open it and get the other coins out...?

John, you are class!

It is mine, I can put up free credits, I just thought it would be nice to have a tray of old coins so people could play as they will!

When I worked in a bank, we used to have a little 'slag' tray in the corner of each till for collecting all the dross that folk tried to pass off as legal tender. One Xmas the assistant manager told me I could have whatever I could find in them, so I emptied all six and took the haul home.
When I sorted them I found sixpences galore, coins from all over the world, coins from the 18th century, washers, buttons...

I still have an 1899 1 pfennig (Germany) and a WW2 Reichsmark complete with Swastika... and loads of bloody sixpences... (and a pound note!) but sorry, no old 10p's...

Edit: before Eric Mc spotted it, I changed Deutschemark to Reichsmark...

Found 3 old 50ps ...do you want them?

[Corin Denton]

Fantastic, yes please!!!

[nubbin]

I'm pretty sure I've got a bag ful of old 50p's and several of old 10p's. I'll see what I can dig out - send me an e-mail to remind me, otherwise I can guarantee I'll forget.

Corin, you have some different money making methods but this has to be the wierdest. (and probably the slowest!!!).

I'll post them to-morrow First class ...or are they that special you want them going recorded delivery?

Little known fact but the old 2 shilling piece (the old 10p) is the same size and weight as a new £2 coin

Not that I'm advocating it's use in vending machines and the like!

Is this true?

Err, yes it's true.

The old 'florin' two shilling pieces from the 50's and 60's.

I work for a well known cash-in-transit company, and we get a fair few of them in car park tins!
