£31 is bloody good going, cant get anywhere near that sort of total on the East Coast, If we get large amounts of coins the bulk tend to be pre decimal. But I have a bank that still exchanges all my old large 5, 10, and 50ps for spendable cash. ::g

We take them into our local Lloyds, They exchange the large size 5.10, and 50 pences but they wont take sixpences or halfcrowns, Quite a few of the local diggers get rid of them this way ::g

No gold ring today?!
That is some coinage! My total will not equal that from November last year. Must take more notice when I see you on the beach next.
