As you can see, the coin count dropped for the second year
running. I blame the economy, people are
dropping fewer coins because their pockets are empty. Luckily I managed to find two more £1 coins
than in the previous year, otherwise I would have been seriously down value
wise. I bet George Osborne never
considered the serious repercussions of his cut-backs, and the effects on the
country’s coin collectors.
