I’m the opposite. I always carry cash on me. Then again I don’t live in London and my chances of encountering some knife wielding robber who’s twice the size of me is significantly reduced where I live.
Cash is very handy in case of emergencies, such as when the payments systems crash in the supermarkets or wherever. All those shoppers who rely 100% on their cards having to abandon their purchases and make a mad dash to join the long queue at the nearest cash machine, hoping that it will still payout when it’s their turn.
Cards are a necessary convenience, but think of the above scenario and try to have some cash handy for the unexpected. Just my penny’s worth.

Wasn’t this a thread about the car dealer at one point?  😊

Most of the coins in use today are 30 years old or less and none pre-date 1971 so it's hardly a surprise that they need replacing less than say in the 1960s, when you often got copper coins (mostly well worn and flat) with Victoria and Edward VII on.

I have been waiting for Charles III coins to come to me in change, but on this news, I decided to get a pair of definitive BU sets, just in case his coins never become common in change. Note: only the definitives though, I don't want any commemorative c**p.

He was a good doctor though kept his hands on my shoulders all the time. 

Let's be honest though, it was over quicker than a cheap gold listing when James is online

All I know is when they do it and ask ask how's does that feel don't reply "nice"

Picked this up earlier not because of the news but simply because the design is one of the best I’ve seen. Being silver it will take hundreds of years to be worth good money but the gold was a bit of a stretch!

Compared to QE2, every reign regardless who is on the throne will be short.

That's a good point...although I've no fekin idea what it means. Has treetop1280 hacked your account. 

Now I know what to get for prizes on the NBS awards, or maybe next year's secret santa.

Yes they do and it's annoying. They're American and don't speak French.

Picked up another plump sovereign. 2022 Piedfort Memorial Proof. The strike on the double thick planchet appears to give it a higher relief compared to a standard proof.

Fantastic coin this one. Thank you @Colnago 

Got this today…….it’s not perfect  but it’s going to get the bath of its life…… 

Next time I see my postman, will ask what silver he has for sale

A booklet from Baldwins. I've been managing with the online version for a while but it's always better having a paper copy in hand.

2010 Gold Proof City of London £1 Coin   I much prefer the "raw" versions of the sensibly weighted gold £1 coins to the lifeless hygiene of the mortuary slabs and was pleased to pick up this splendid "London" specimen from the RM 2010/11 Capital Cities collection. Just three more replacements to source.   Still looking for the 2006 Egyptian Arch as well as the 2012, 2013 and 2015 (4th portrait) shields, should anybody be able to help.
