They're Still Useful For Something_DSC2614

For macro-coin and October words old.
We stopped using one and two cent coins in 1991, but I still have a jar full of them.

@gilbertwood Graham’s Dad had jars full of them. We used them as betting tokens. They make a reasonable photographic subject too 😊

[Marnie]

I've still got a few somewhere, but I do have a whole jar/tin full of the old copper pennies. Why do we keep such things?

[Merrelyn]

@golftragic Nostalgia????

[Richard Hickey]

Cool picture.

[Marnie]

@merrelyn Sigh. You're right.

[Denise Wood]

@golftragic @merrelyn And oh dear I have them too - both cents and pennies :)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Marnie]

@gilbertwood @merrelyn I had some pre-decimal notes too, but they were chewed up during one of the mouse-plagues we had up in the Riverina.

[Denise Wood]

@golftragic Rich mice!!!!!

[Merrelyn]

@gilbertwood @golftragic Yep I've got a pile of predecimal coins and a few notes. My maternal grandfather didn't like banks so he buried jars of notes around the garden. We found a few of them years after he died.

[Marnie]

@gilbertwood Rich poo!!

[Marnie]

@merrelyn Oh gosh, I hope you've found them all.
