Was the day I read an advert that was selling the old currency coins; bags of threepenny bits, pennies, shillings and sixpence pieces. If I remember correctly the advert tried to attract me to the coins of the reign of George the Sixth - in a feel the coins and feel the people sort of way; it was all offered to me for a bit short of thirty quid.
Do I want to surrender anything near thirty quid for old coins that do not smile or wink at me? Coins from an era I lived through? No not really and I resent being reminded that people of 1990s vintage called Darren, Chelsea, Jack and Charlotte might take a different view.
