Yesterday I found a 1p coin on the pavement.
This was the first coin I had found in 2024.
Used to find so many - a lot at bus stops - but even the buskers have gone cashless.5 -
We used to find them outside Morrisons- thrown aside plastic carrier bag with penny in the bottom - presumably the change from a purchase. (School children buying their lunch.) Now neither- no carrier bags & no coins!General_Grant said:Yesterday I found a 1p coin on the pavement.

I tend to keep them in a jar on the kitchen window sill but will put them in vases if they flower stems need some support. And then the flowers get thrown away, the water tipped out of the vase and then they get put away but sometimes still with the marbles in. So scattered in various places in the house. And then I notice how empty the jar is and go on a marble hunt.BooJewels said:

@BooJewels
fyi - House of Marbles is wonderful and has a nice selection (or did the last time I was there) if you need to buy new ones. Also had the most marvellous marble runs.

Keep them in line of sight and what can go wrong??? And face it, if I found your marbles wouldn't that be a bit worrying???? (no cross purposes, only happy coincidences!)BooJewels said:I have a feeling that we're a little at cross purposes @Brie. I don't think I could buy replacements in a shop! But I've had a good laugh at the idea of keeping them in a jar on the kitchen windowsill. Maybe that's what I need to do.
