Hands up who knew these were coming (and have now arrived)?

Saw the first one today.

Forged or real? :-)


The cashier at the supermarket showed me one to look at and feel (the
banknote, that is). I offered to take it down to the bank and check if
it was genuine, but she declined ;=)

1 and 2 cent Euro coins are the next to go according to our local
newspaper.

Yep, I tip out the contents of my purse every few days and put all the
small change in a jar. Every few months when the jar gets too heavy to
carry I lug the whole lot down to the savings bank, they've got a
machine where you tip the stuff in, it goes chug chug chug and spits out
a receipt. It's amazing how much you can get together.

Keep an eye on any UK banknotes that you have. They seem to have built
in obsolescence.


I am against weighting down my pockets with coins and refuse to carry a
purse. I dump any coins I receive into a jar at night and take them to
my bank, which has a free counting machine, about once a month. I try to
use a credit card for most purchases.
