    Round here they seem to be chucking it around: £2.07 so far this month, highest value coin was 20p but mostly 1p & 5p coins (= smallest & lightest so least likely to be heard/felt while falling :confused: ).

    That was March...just 44p so far in April :o

    Hello everyone

    I'm so happy to see this challenge. I didn't know there was one but I watched a telly article about a woman who collected tens of thousands for charity this way so I decided to give it a try to see how much we could find.

    Just gone to the bowl and we've found, since the turn of the year, £3.87 of other people's money!! Amazing

    Lurker de-cloaking :D !!

    This thread has spurred me on to keep an eye open for lost pennies. So far this month I've accumulated 41p, I also found £1 in March, so total since I started = £1.41.

    I'll be paying whatever I find into the bank/off the credit card on a weekly basis as part of my PAD, but will keep a running total and report in with any finds!

    It's great knowing someone else is helping to pay the debt off!!
