When I was in Scotland I bought a postcard that showed a traditional Scottish pastime: looking for lost coins in the heather.

When the farthing ceased to be legal tender in the UK, there was a cartoon showing a Scot with a huge sack full of farthings bringing it to be cashed in just before the deadline.
