Quite like the sound of paying in Candy...
Never give up the Penny ,there are many games destroyed by losing the penny. Shove ha'pny, Table rugby, etc.
We've lost loads over the years:
Farthing 1/4,
Ha'penny 1/2,
Trup'enny-bit 3pence coin,
Groat 4pence coin,
Half Crown,
Barmaids Ruin (Double florin (Florin=two shillings)),
Crown,
Sovereign.
Never mind ,easier to add up now...

I think, somewhere, I have a British penny. My BIG regret is that I didn’t keep a Pound Sterling when I was at Heathrow in 2004. I used it in an Interwebs machine and it was the last one I had.

I collect odd coins from my travels, but I’m not a true numismatist. I keep the ones that mean something to me.

We still have the pottle, but we call it a half gallon...
