Money Laundering
I'm not keen on change.
I still miss half-pences and the days when five old pennies in a row measured just over six inches. We used to save shillings for the meter.
I got used to new money though.
Until it started shrinking.
Now I keep fiddly five-pences in the jar in the hall.
The latest note is made out of old shower curtains I think, for the sake of the environment. I hate to imagine what'll happen in the tumble dryer if our Bert leaves one in his back pocket.
Maybe that's what's happening to our coins.

Why does it even need to be a coin? There was nothing wrong with the pound note X

I'm still mourning the threepenny bit. You needed a spanner to get it out of my hand. You could find it easily in your pocket. And you could buy loadsa sweets with it. And what a lovely colour.

You should be like the brain boxes in the Treasury here in the States, where it costs 1.7 cents to make a one-cent coin and 8 cents to make a five-cent coin. No wonder we're borrowing money like a gambling addict with holes in both trouser pockets
