    As a tip for helping him load his van.

    he gave me whatever loose change he had in his pocket and i said thanks. sound.

    but when i looked through it looking for change i found a 1p coin from 1988 with a peacock bird thing on the front and harp on the back.

    What should i do with it or is it any good for anything ?

    Bring it into the Central Bank-you might get a 1c coin for it

    brian lenihan is probably coming up with a way to tax you on that penny right now.

    Is it wrong that I opened this thread thinking: "Please let it be the clap! Please let it be the clap!" ?

    Seriously? Do you not remember 1 pence pieces. It's worth the copper (and maybe zinc 'n shih) it's made from. Keep it as a lucky penny if ya want, but there's still thousands of them floatin around.

    ha'pennies are probably worth more, they are rarer to come by.
