coppers
no not the filth

copper coins, they are filthy

filthy smelly dirty and entirely uneccessary

if retailers didn't 'cunningly dupe' us into thinking 4.99 is somehow around the 4 quid mark as apposed to a fiver then we wouldn't need the damn things

i mean honestly, when did you last buy anything that cost less than 5p

i never take them back out of the house now. last time i counted and bagged them for the bank (is that not their bloody job) i received a similar level of remuneration for my time as a chinese cockle picker

no i just refuse the penny in shops, and when i'm clearing up at home (i'm sure the fuckers breed) i just throw them in the bloody bin

lookafter the pennies? - bollocks

I too used to think like that
Then I went to the trouble of cleaning up properly and kept the change that I found lying about on the floor- just the occasional pound coin, 50p, 1p, 2p, etc.

£174.54. Which was promptly stuck in the bank and then partly splurged on a night out. £6 of that was in 1ps and 2ps. I'm surprised I didn't have copper flooring...

but you've
just validated my point

pounds fine - 50p's fine same with 10's 20's 5's - they're not dirty smelly coppers - they only offered up a measly 6 quid or so of your bounty

dirty bastard things

Unneccessary my arse
They are useful, when you are a dirty dirty student and have reached the end of your bank balance.

I have lost count of the number of pints I have bought with shrapnel. Okay, it makes the barman hate you with a vengeance but...
