I've never paid a penny for any coin that's out in circulation. I just go to the bank and take out £1000 at a time and search through them. My Lloyd's caught on to what I was going and now will allow me to take out as much as I want, but will only allow me to deposit 10 bags at a time. So I find my self with coins everywhere..... Only realised I still had 200 quid in 50ps in the boot of my car the other day.
