Ditch The Coppers
Scrapping 1p coins 'will not raise prices'How does everyone feel about this?
Off the top of my head, I wouldn't mind it.
Some things might get rounded down, most things will get rounded up.data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I pay for the majority of stuff these days ( £3) by card/Apple pay so i rarely have a lot of coins.
Inflation is a runaway train so the 1/2p is practically worthless now.
Can't seethem hanging around for long. I'd get rid.
A chugger outside Cannon Street on Monday had a bucket and a contactless card reader. Sooner than we think small coins will be completely redundant. Can you still buy one of those pick'n'mix sweets for a penny? You certainly can't buy four any more data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 That would mean a McLatte for £1.90 data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Yup get rid , can't remember when I last felt the need and it's about time we got away from that 99p to make us believe we are getting a great deal on a product .
Must also be a big saving for the treasury in not having to manufacture the them ? Why scrap these coins? They are still useful:
Use one to put under a table leg to stop wobbling.
Useful to skim across water.
Glue to the floor in a shopping arcade.
Hide coppers around the house or garden as a children's party game.
Etc. Rub holes with loose change in your pockets .
The copper jar what will become of the copper jar ? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7. Charity organisations will not be pleased if the copper jar is ditched. Nor will my wife , who uses them for this very reason .
Cheers fella as I had not considered this aspect and where all me coppers go, as in charity via the wife .
Great point data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7.
