lol nice one!!!
gf was at a bowling game and they all threw in for a sweepstake - some minger noticed one of those misprinted 20p coins in and claimed it!

you might be as well holding on to it for a bit :)
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Some years back I was at the TT, they had the old and new English, Irish and Scottish pound notes in circulation; got to the stage where you'd take any bit of green paper offered.

But I managed to smuggle back to the mainland a 50p note issued in the IOM, that's won me a few drinks in the "yes, I have, no you haven't" pub arguments.

Dunno if it's worth anything more than a free pint though.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Hope your're going back to the corner shop to tell him the dodgy 50p he foisted on you is worth £15 on E-bay :lol: :lol: :lol:
