I have done banking for a shop and I assure you every day you have to bank every coin from the penny to the two pound coins if someone had come into my shop and asked me to sort out say all the bronze coins till 1992 and offered me no financial reward they would have been laughed out of the shop , its basically a pain.
Of course it was pretty handy for myself when the undated 20ps and kews were circulating
Not really they would have plenty other coins beside pennies what about the shilling ,sixpence &threepence coins and halfpennies they would still have to sort the Victorian bun pennies for Mr freeman and receive no monetary reward
While most gardening stops around this time of year there are still plenty other things you can do dividing hostas pruning and pruning roses, etc.
The wonderful time comes in the spring really , I got plenty bulbs in for a great new year
