Crusty Beach Coins

Post by fishy »

There has been a few few topics on how people get rid of modern crusty beach coins.

Several people resent using the coin machines at the supermarkets where you pay a percentage for the privilege.

I popped into the local Tesco the other day with a cunning plan. Use the self checkout.

Got rid of loads of barely usable coins and had none returned :D :D :D

For anything else here is my video of crusty coin (and anything else) cleaning.

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The one time I didnt mind the self checkout lady barking at me for doing something wrong.

They probably got a bit of a shock when they emptied her out.

Hope you find that useful ::g

Yep, the ones which wont clean up go to the self service in Morisons, best way to dispose of them :)

Tesco shouldn't mind at all - as they say themselves, 'every little helps'. Good idea fishy, I think I'll give them some of mine too - makes a 'change' from sticking them in parking metres. ::g

Mine go in parking meters.

You get rid of them, and also get a nice warm feeling inside whilst doing so.
