Small change please; small change.

News reaches me from my financial correspondent, Rich B’stard, that the silly people at the Royal Mint have accidentally put into circulation between fifty and two hundred thousand new 20 pence piece coins and completely forgot to put the date on them. The coins are now destined to become collectors items, with the London Mint Office, a private company specialising in unusual coins, offering anyone who finds one £50 in exchange.

I am now offering a free check-it-out service. If you think you may have a 20 pence without a date simply send your spare change to:

You’ve Been Diddled

Alternatively you can send your change via the internet by placing it in the tray that opens at the side of your laptop marked CD / DVD.

And they say you can't get much nowadays for 20p.

And they say you can't get much nowadays for 20p.

 

For a lot less than the value of an undated 20p, if you enjoy reading this blog I’d like to take a moment to shamelessly plug my new book, for sale through the blog all of £5 cheaper than getting it through Amazon, Waterstone’s, W.H.Smiths, Borders or any other online bookstore. Click on Sperm, Wonderful Sperm! on the bar at the top and you can read all about it.

 

Thanks for looking,

Alan Smithie, alias to55er.

    Hey you I was just about to write an article on this. Surely there must be some rules about sharing out interesting stories?? First you nobble the wareham conservative club scoop and now this.

      Send me your small change and I’ll delete the post. Send me a pearl diver and I’ll delete the entire blog. Write away – I’m sure you can compose something with greater insight, imagination and intellect on the subject. I may myself just stick in future to ageist, sexist and mysogynistic nonsense, a subject I am well versed in.
