nah, just love half-baked ideas, tell me, when did you last inspect every £1 coin you have?

also, wont every taxi on a rank be removing ads for other firms on the coins?

do the stickers add enough weight to make the coins useless in slot meters?

they reckon hairs on the back of your hands is a sign of impending insanity













so is looking for them, like you just did :lol:


for "negative" read - tuned sense of survival

If someone handed me a coin with stickers on it, i'd hand it back and ask for another. :?


Why?


Because I have better things to do than peel stickers off money.

I didn't see anywhere that it said it would make you a rich man and if that is what you want then I suggest you change occupation. Being a taxi driver is never going to make you rich, at least not rich in the cash sense of the word :wink:

why is it only for £1 coins, 50p's are larger as are £2 coins, which equals bigger adverts...

i can think of better ways to waste my time than sticking stickers on the backs of £1 coins (giving only a 50/50 chance to be seen i assume...lol)

is it not a crominal offence to deface or devalue a coin of the realm?


If you looked at the website you would see that they say not to cover the queens face and they also have a section for legal bits.
