    Erm... Why don't we just all keep track in our signatures? Nice of MM to keep a running total in the first post but not essential is it?
    I need to think of something new here...

    A very big hit on the Coinstar yesterday...
    • Two round pounds plus 40p in silver
    • 45 cents US - including a commemorative quarter (but not worth anything more than face value)
    • 10 cents Canadian
    • a 2 Euro coin (plus 2 Eurocents) - worth about £1.75 at last nights exchange rates!
    • a pfennig
    • 10 cents Singaporean
    • 22 Bulgarian stotinka (I had to do a bit of Googlling to identify those)
    I need to think of something new here...

    Another trip past the Coinstar - another new currency 5 Icelandic Krona - worth a massive 3½p!
    Plus 22 €cents, 50 Canadian cents and 27p in sterling.

    Here's my update for March, assuming the thread is still being managed?

    Jan 2018: £2.32
    Feb 2018: £2.53
    Mar 2018: £0.45
    Total To Date: £5.30

    March has been a bit of a funny month for me. Very few opportunities to womble. Hopefully I'll pick up again from next month.

    ...and another surprise from the Coinstar - an old (1980) 5p piece which looked massive even though I remember them. I think I'll take it to work to confuse the young folk... 25p in current silver and 36 cents US as well.
    I need to think of something new here...
