Catching up - coin count for 2016



I know I am way behind .....

Today I finally completed my coin count for 2016.  This is what I found laying in the streets last year (figures in brackets are for 2015):

While my coin count is way down - forth year in a row! - value is holding steady, mainly because of those two £10.  Not bad really, considering how fewer hours I now spend walking the streets.  And very few Euro coins - I tend to have company now when I visit Paris, and my last vsit to la Bourboule I was more sick than usual, so spent little time collecting.

Oh well, better luck in 2017!
