      Well how dirty can you get from coins?

      Edit: I meant dirty as in visibly dirty, obviously coins must be disgustingly unhygienic.

      I just researched some info: "What are the new pound coins made of?
      The new pound coin is made of two metals. The outer ring is gold coloured (nickel-brass) and the inner ring is silver coloured (nickel-plated alloy)." - 26 May 2017 :)

      in the long term which is more financially beneficial.
      taking the odd few coins and risk getting caught. in which case instant dismissal as well as criminal charges.
      or doing a job in which you get paid a wage every week or month.

    For thuse who still have round pounds, they can still be paid into an account at a clearing bank. In fact, the banks are obliged to take them under the terms of their charter. I pay in at least one bag of twenty each week, all found with my metal detector.
