| What were you doing in our library in Essexshire, some 60 miles from your usual urban haunts? _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| The obverse is completely unreadable, I have it soaking in some soft drink at the moment. But that coin has been out of circulation for 31 years. Surely it can't have been there all that time. |

| In the past few weeks I've picked up countless 1p coins off the floor in random places - and last week in my local shopping centre I found a whole 50p coin which everyone else had been stepping over! Most of it will end up in a charity shop so I don't feel too guilty. Like with flibby's coin, but not quite so old, and still in circulation, last year I found a very tarnished 1991 5p coin in the mud when walking in some woods. It looked like it had been in those woods for years. That too got spent in a charity shop. |

| I saw a penny on the floor in Tescos yesterday but I left it there, cos technically it's property of Tescos. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

New Zealandland 2 cents. From the first series of decimal currency coins. Exact same size and equivalent value as a current British penny. Features flowers from the kowhai tree. As a fliblet they always made me think of miniature people. |
