| 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! ![Excited](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/4075307247.gif) 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?'

![Excited](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/4075307247.gif) 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. ![The money-finding thread Kowhai10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f20/19/94/58/00/kowhai10.jpg) |

| I picked up a £1 coin off the floor of Lidl a couple of days ago near to the entrance! ![The money-finding thread 1f60d](https://2img.net/i/fa/twemoji/16x16/1f60d.png) I also found a 5p coin on the floor of Asda on the outskirts of Clacton when I was in the area a couple of weeks ago. A couple of weeks before that I picked up a scratched 1p coin off a car park. I've made £1.06p in free money in the last month or so. ![Excited](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/4075307247.gif) |

| The other day whence in a town I saw and picked up a 1p coin off the floor. Then a few minutes later I saw and picked up a 5p coin. ![happy](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/2622191953.gif) The latter looked like it had been on the floor for a long time as it was matt grey and scratched. |

| I found 5p in the change chute of a self checkout I was using last week. (I'd paid by card). I took it, despite it technically being the property of the supermarket. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'
