      One of the joys of working in the catering / bar trade, people try to scam the staff with, amongst others, the quarter Dollar.
      Whilst cashing up, I would take out any foreign / collectable / 'out of place' coins ( dime / quarter Dollar / Polish Zloty / Yuan / even Jersey & Guernsey coins ) and replace them with a coin that 'should' be there ( 10p / 50p / etc ).

      @@eddie-g-6452 I worked as a cashier and did something similiar. In addition to starting my 2€ collection and sets of Euro coins from different countries I also(often intentionally) accepted and picked any foreign coins(mostly some eastern european coins and a couple of pounds/pennies) and kept them even if I was at small loss. I've done it for only a year before the pandemics stopped me, but I think I found a hobby for lifetime. I started thinking about traveling more after all of this is over in part because I want to bring some coins with me :D And if I ever visit UK, after seeing this video I'll be definitely paying cash when I can and checking the change. They have some nice and collectable coins there.

    I love the knowledge you pass on, the uk coins always surprise me with editions that I didn't know existed, and some that I remember seeing from the past in my change. I'm 55 and can remember the older 50p coins with the hands linking together, they were pretty common back in their day but I took them for granted as they passed in out out of my hands. You make me wish I'd collected them now.

    I think my favourite coin-related fact is that the two pound coin has 19 cogs in a circle on it. Given that if one cog rotates one way, one touching it will have to rotate the other way, any loop of an odd number of cogs would not rotate because two cogs next to each other would end up trying to rotate the same way and jam the system.
    The strange thing is, the man who designed the coin designed it the right way, with 22 cogs, but then the Royal Mint removed three of them. I’m not sure why.

    • @chlo130
      @chlo130 4 роки тому +5

      could be because the cogs are meant represent the industrial revolution/era which really took off in and defined the 19th century?

    I know like the US as well, Canada has a metric tonne of collectors 25 cent pieces too. Also to a lesser degree also some 1 (Loonie) and 2 (Toonie) coins. We sometimes colour them too...

    At 0:18 he shows what looks like a Anthony Dollar, but the edges are circular. Any idea if this if a mint error or something else?
