The coin thread--post pictures of your traditional knives with a coin

@DKIN Silver is very soft and will wear pretty quickly if it stays in constant circulation. Yes the cashless society is here alright and frankly, it's a dangerous situation, but that's another matter :( I still save my small change in a jar and take it to the bank (you have to make an appt. to visit beforehand online...) they don't like it & behave in a sniffy manner but the last time I raked in over 186€ that's more than 200 of your Dollars:cool:

Maybe ten years ago, I took several years’ worth of saved up pocket change to cash in at the bank. I’d been collecting it in a large Mason jar, and whenever that would fill up I’d sort it into ziplock bags and store them in a shoebox-sized plastic storage tote. When that finally filled up, I took it to the bank. The box weighed nearly 70 lbs, and the petite bank teller had to have a coworker help her move it onto a rolling chair so she could wheel it to the coin counting machine in the back. I think total was around $1,100.

Anyways, here’s a photo I took a while back, but haven’t posted in this thread before. You end up with a lot of coins in your pocket at the end of the day if you use cash in England! 😁

This is New South Wales first currency specifically minted for us in Australia with the use of a steam powered press in England. A 1797 Cartwheel Penny. There was 130,000 of them minted

Very cool, those are large but the Cartwheel Twopences are outlandishly massive 😅 A Gold Five Pound piece would be something worth having, especially a Victorian 1839 Una & the Lion example!

G'day mate,
I don't have a Gold five pound piece, but I do have the cartwheel tupence. It's 41mm in diameter and 6mm thick I think roughly that's 1.6" X 1/4"
