What do you collect?

[SlySniper]

Hey, Sniper. I see an old florin in your collection there. They went out of circulation circa 1974.

Is that good? Which one is it? What's it look like? I have almost no clue about these coins.

Thanks Hertz!

On the right - the vertical row of 4. Second one down. Marked two shillings - popular name was the two bob bit or florin.
Below it is an old shilling or 'bob'.
We lost them when we went decimal between '69 and '74.
None of the others appear to be from the UK.

Is it worth anything?:er:

You'd have to look in a numismatist's guide. There are a lot of those coins around, I have some myself somewhere, so they generally aren't worth much at all. There are, however, some rare strikes - some years where they didn't mint many or they recalled them because of a flaw. You'd need to check.
It's a bit like stamps. Most are worth pennies but the odd flawed one is worth a fortune.

I've notified the Drug Squad. They'll be in touch.

I'll tell them it was just a packet of seeds from B&Q!

People used to grow it from bird seed, but they irradiate it now so all the seeds are dead and won't grow! Blame it on an old batch of bird seed

The seeds used to be in fisherman's ground bait too. Only now they boil it to kill them.
And budgie seed. That's why they were always so happy.

Set up a stall at your local car-boot sale. Advertise them as "cheap tomato plants" and rake in the money.

I have an obession with Mickey Mouse. Photogoddess can verify this. If you saw Dodge Ball(the movie) were the girl has unicorns everywhere...that is my apartment with Mickey Mouse. I also have Coca Cola stuff in my kitchen, but that too is related to Mickey Mouse, since Coca Cola is the offical soft drink of Disney.
