    Miggy, the latter is what I've started to do. Pennies seem to be thin on the ground though - can't even search my car for them as it gets hoovered out quite often so would have noticed if I'd dropped any! It's bad when you go for a 3 mile or so walk and don't see a single penny.

    And people wonder why I walk with my eyes downcast ... not moping or sulking, just looking for glints of copper!

    1 whole penny captured this morning! Ironically dropped something off the bedside table, moved it, and found a penny instead. One more to the Magpie Pot. Can't find what dropped off the bedside table though...

    Another random penny found lying all lost and lonely on the walk to work yesterday - now with lots of its mates in penny prison!

    Nice one, Jetcat! Haven't seen any shinies lately. Doesn't stop me looking though!

    I've wombled 19p and found a 20p piece lurking in the kitchen: I think it was trying to get under the microwave.
