I've got a box of these as well.
Just checked to see how many in my box.
And I can't find them.
Which means of course that I won't sleep tonight wondering where they are.

It's alright, panic over. I've found them.
And would you believe there are 82 of them.
Sorry Lord.

Apologies, I can only put my hand on some loose change
Way back in the early 90's I was a Custody Sergeant at Vine Street police station, just off Piccadilly when a homeless chap was brought in having been arrested for something or other. In his possession was a cloth bag containing 320 threepenny bits; I know this because I made the arresting officer count them, but the prisoner was unable to explain where he had got them. The chap was released the following morning, complete with his bag of bronze.
Several days later the same fellow was arrested again, this time minus his hoard and with no idea where it had gone.

Do they work in Tesco trollies?
The holy grail of the penny collector. I've got one too somewhere but it's a New Zealand one.
Oooo
I’ve got a bag of them, amongst other old coins, are they worth anything?
Glad Iaint the only one with such thoughts!.I thought similar but didn’t post it
Ok, let’s go large on this one. For many years my wife’s elderly uncle told her there was something of great value in the coal shed, and when he was gone she was to retrieve it.
When he passed we dug it out and this was it, 23kg in weight of mostly 2 shilling pieces, with a healthy dollop of 1 shilling pieces.
Nothing pre 1947.
Sat in my garage now, now idea what to do with them.

I was at a dinner last week: young lad next to me, and talking about bikes, I used the phrase "threepenny bit-ing around a corner". I explained that the phrase came from the old 3d coin with 12 sides.
Well knock me down with a feather but the bloke across the table opened his wallet and produced a shiny 3d bit!
No old coins here except some ha'pennies for our Shove Ha'penny board.....
