    Spend them. They are, and always will be, legal tender.

    Collect them up, change them for bigger denominations and pay the vet. ;)

    They are still legal tender OP. Spend them, or bag them, and cash them in at your bank.

    Get an unused grain silo, fill it with all your 1c and 2c coins and then get some kind of diving board installed and go for a swim in your riches, Scrooge Mcduck style

    Well you picked the right username.

    I suppose it was a funny answer to a silly question.

    They're definately still legal whatever. The blind, the starving, the homeless would all be happy to have them.

    Automated checkout machines in Tesco etc. accept them. Though it would be appreciated if you don't try that at peak times with fifty-seven angry shoppers queued up behind you ... :eek:

    Yes, I set up a charity called 'Any Odds' and everytime you get around a thousand of them together, just pop them in a bag and send them to my Parcel Motel locker (PM me for details).

    *I also accept any unwanted gold.
