 Raided the money jars today. That’s about 8 years worth of shrapnel.

Funny that they coloured the tokens silver and gold to tap into human instinct, but really they’re worthless. 

The 5 cent coins might as well be taken out of circulation but Gov doesn’t like people being reminded that their money is worthless. https://i.nostr.build/lELNkHUqCgIgo6Px.jpg

 Fair dinkum 🧡 That's a good haul. 
 Most of them wouldn't know the difference between the real shit & that fake shit anyway.

 $300? 
 $174 in goldies & $34 in cents.

Curiously mostly 20 cent pieces, bugger all 50 cent and 5 cent coins which when I was a kid would have been the bulk of a haul like this. 
 I did this in my 20's. Any coins left over from my night out, or whenever I broke a note went into an icecream container. After a year I took it to the bank and was surprised to have about $500 
 That would have funded some good nights out! 
 Soon to be collectors items  
 Consider using cash much more often. 8 years? You need to pump those numbers up.
