1 and 2 cent coins

K4t

I see lads in school spitting on them and flinging them across the yard every day and this is not Blackrock or anywhere like that. Do these ignorants not understand the basic functions of maths?

My friend and I pick them up at lunch (started a month ago and already have 70cent). Amazing the amount of money lying about in bins and gutters around the school tbh.

I hope to f**k the recession teaches these young'uns a lesson.

Do ye treat your 1 and 2 cents with respect?!

Stick 'em in a jar with the odd ten or twenty for company... I'll be rich in a few lives.

70c in a month? I think they do understand maths to be honest

Riamfada

You should go on Dragon's Den

mike65

Finland has the right idea.

I used to have way too many of them collecting in my wallet
make sure to use them on the bus fares now

biko

I just use them to pay with when something costs 7.03 or similar.

You'd earn more begging on nassau street for a couple of hours.

1c + 1c

That's my 2c for what it's worth.

i keep them in a jar til its full then cash them in. i saw a granny pour a shítload of them into one of them coin counter things in supervalu the other day, the bint ended up with €24 to use against her shopping

I think that 1 and 2 cent coins should be withdrawn from use and 99 cent coin must be introduced. :cool:

They used to do that in my school also...excepts it wasnt coins, it was the black kids

The Dutch have taken them out of circulation.

Id be more worried why you and your friend are spending your days spying on school children playing in the yard.

jester77

I remember collecting half-pennies back when money was worth something, you'd wouldn't even need many of them to get a decent bag of sweets! Your 70c wouldn't get you much now!

Thats damn impressive K4t. If you and your friend keep this up you will both be millionaires in about 238095.238 years. A proper pair of entreprenaurs you two are.

Since they brought in the euro I collected coins on the ground. I have 98.03 euro worth of 1 and 2 cent coins.

My name is URL

I throw them at poles, first to hit one right between the pylons wins

Patricide

I never use em, always put em in charity boxes or just fling em away. Im not well off or anything but they just acumulate in your pocket untill your wallet is about to burst. on top of that its annoying when you cant find anythng but copper when your looking to actually pay for somthing.

With the pound id always keep onto anything but with 1 cent being pretty much worthless(cmon these days you cant even buy a penny sweet with one) I dont see the point in keeping onto them. You can make the argument im throwing loads of money away and that i could save up the pennys but i cant see myself going into the bank with massive jug of em or anything, i dont have the time. Especially when the rewards arent going to be great.

I would be too if I wasn't in 6th year! Would it be innapropriate to go down searching in the primary school playgrounds? I really want to expand into new markets.

Would pay for that odd Yorkie, though. Assuming that you're not a girl.

And what happens if someone doesnt have a 1euro coin so buys something dns a euro and uses the 99c coin.

Can you tell me the exact location of that bin? Thanks

Indeed, and oh how sweet it would taste.

That'll get you a packet of Super Valu Cheesy Puffs.
/shill.

I leave them on my dresser with other small coins. Then I bring them over to the coin thingy in super valu and I usually have enough for 20 smokes.


Also, fair play to the OP for not rising to the trolls.

And why not? Many shops and petrol stations doesnt bother to give back 1 cent from 15 euro if you have to pay 14.99. So I think 99 cent coin could be a great idea.

Another 40cent and I could get a 12 pack of burger bites in Texco (not own brand). I'm quite in love with their confectionery isle atm.

I'm disappointed that you smoke tbh Terry. You have so much to offer life and boards. It would be a shame to see it cut short. Quit now please.

Spastafarian

I'll give you a euro OP if you clean out my attic.

Or for 42 cent you could get there bacon bites....they get revolting around half way through the bag but for 42 cent you really cant go wrong!!

GlasnevinRed

I collect them along with 5, 10 and 20's I know it's not much but every 3 or 4 months I cash it in and €20 back. Handy when you're a non-working student.

Mr.Lizard

I just use any I have as part of bus fares. Let Dublin Bus worry about the shíte little coins. Feels good getting about 50 of them and just fecking them in that collecting machine of theirs.

Where do you live? I'm in Mayo. I don't think I'd travel outside of Connaught for the job tbh. Unless you meant an hour.

Ahh, the folly of youth. In both cases.

Expenses?? €1.05 is more than you make in a month! Surely you can walk to cork for that.

Wowzers, you must be completely chuffed.

Do banks accept big jars of loose change or do you have to sort it first?

You have to sort it yourself. Lazy f'ers... they have machines, and everything.
