do you recognise the coins yet ?

After living here now for 8 months I have that much loose change as I keep mixing up the coins that I have now started to save all loose coins in a large WINE bottle, each time I go to the shop I use another note getting more change, so the answer is buy more wine for the empty bottles and fill them up with change.

you know the situation

when you first go over you have to read the words on the coins to find out what they are

when do you fel you can select them in your change like a pro

When you can drive up to an unattended toll booth and fling the right exact change into the hopper without causing a two hundred yard queue behind you Tezz!!

By the way, a friend recently gave me a gold coloured one dollar coin....anyone know if these are still in common use ?[msnsmile2][/quote]

In February 2007 the US will be producing presidential dollar coins. Apparently a dollar bill will only last a few months and the coins should last 30 years.

For those of you that need help sorting the coins, I will gladly meet you down in Florida and sort your coins or even go shopping with you. [msnwink]

I don't do coins - I just pass them on to Mum who's an absolute whizz with them. We seem to get so many that we're regular donors to those charity boxes in most of the restaurants and only keep a few back for machines, tolls, etc.

Me either, I can just about manage the quarters[msnembarrased]

I find I only have to keep reminding hubby that the coin the same size as our 5p is a 10c and the one sized like 10 is 5c and the rest aren't too bad. - yes it is the 10c and 5c that used to baffle me.
