Archie is on fire this video hahaha "I've had breakfast at the ritz, I've had breakfast at (a place too posh for me to understand), I've never had breakfast at McDonalds"
@@Mr-BGR Melting money is not illegal in France but because money is still government property I dont think it matters, if you return to the UK you have still committed a crime by destroying government property
What does Archie care? He’s in line to inherit a Barony as well as a Dukedom. The sort of class of people he comes from are posher than David Cameron and Boris Johnson- and they used to set fire to £50 notes in front of homeless people for a laugh! So I can’t see him being bothered or feeling any guilt by destroying £400 in 2p coins.
It is not illegal to melt foreign coins in the UK. In addition, the Coinage Act does not apply outside the UK. One could bring his/her British coins to France and melt them there. In France, it is legal to melt any coins, foreign or domestic.
Additionally, before they used the magnet, they were checking dates for pre-1993 coins, however, some 2p coins minted in 1998 are actually made of copper as well - they would have missed out on some profit. luckily, they switched to the magnet anyway - the better method regardless of magnet size.
@@J_-_the 1998 2 pence coin is bronze not copper. When you melt these with copper you will see that the bronze is heavier and will form at the bottom of the bar and will be a different colour. Don't ask me how I know 😂
In Argentina if you get coins as change you never want to use them, hold them and latter sell them by kg because the metal is always gonna have (and hold) more value then the value of the currency so it's kind of rare to see coins here lol
@@MisaloSloe No they wouldn't , its a scrap yard not a bank. they wouldn't give a toss that its legal tender in the uk and give you the scrap metal value.
I just googled melting pennies, saw several things saying it's illegal to melt pennies and sell the materials. Then I saw this video "we melted pennies and sold the metal". Good on you fellas
I have not enjoyed a video as much in ages??? no thats wrong, ever is the word. Late to the game but now subscibed. Searching for more. Thanks great fun.
Two pence coins made before 1992 are not made out of copper. They are actually bronze. I have evidence from a 1986 proof coin set. “2 pence - features the badge of the prince of wales with the motto ICH DIEN (I serve). Struck in bronze, it measures 25.91mm and weighs 7.12g.” This is my information
@@maximusheaton8375 In australia 55% or more of australians call it Maccas...that's because people with the last name Mc are called Macca that's an australian thing.

It is illegal to melt or break up coins in the UK. According to the UK Coinage Act 1971, one cannot melt or break any metal coin which is, or has been, current in the United Kingdom after 16th May 1969 (on that day, Parliament approved the Decimal Currency Act). So you cannot melt your pennies in the UK. Else you risk a £400 fine and/or two years imprisonment.
Why does Archie sound 50% more posh early in morning?
oh goodeee we must traahhvel to fraaaahhnce jolly good
Because hes just had his morning tea and crumpets

this is amazing, i always look forward to when you guys post, because of how much effort you put in
Archie sounds like the poshest person I think I’ve ever heard genuinely
its the noise of sheltered + limited survival instincts to northerners tbh.
geniunly so annoying can't lie
I don’t even know if the stuff they do is illegal or whatnot at this point- but I’m here for it.
I thinks it’s illegal to melt/destroy/bin anything with the queue on especially coins
Yes this is highly illegal and I’m surprised they’ve not been told off
@@jakericardo2071 you clearly didn’t watch the video- It is illegal in the UK but not in France and they confirmed that with a lawyer

@@daleHarrison93 would probably pay for a cup of coffee, while they made 50p melting it down lmao
Ill probably melt all of them to make a statue of myself
And while you melt them you're deflating the currency by reducing the supply, so it's a win win

White british are set to be a minority very soon
Reducing the supply would increase the worth though…
@@oct2364 that’s what deflating the currency means
Can you imagine if they got all of the coins and they just had sealed bags of new, uncirculated steel coins?
I like your profile picture!! :)

if you watched the video that’s precisely what they did
Good idea, a foreign weaker currency might be a metal worth more
The Comedy from Archie is on point for this one!
Your videos are great u put so much effort in to each of them well done
“Well we’ve made profit of 50 pence”
I wonder why this isn’t more common 🤣🤣
I reckon governments have thought about every possible scenario and angle to stop people cutting corners lol
Wait is 50 pence like 50 cents?
@@Founderschannel123 Yep, lol
You could scale up quite easily if you could be bothered
Well that’s mainly because they went to France but people that don’t plan to post a video of the process can get away with doing it in England
That montage of them melting all the copper felt like something from breaking bad. Especially with that meth joke
Bro I got that same feeling
Fighting inflation by actively reducing money in circulation - genius
Genuis, but still think the Katie Hopkins award vid is the funniest thing on TH-cam.
I love that Archie has got that British middle class tick of saying “f’king” with a glottal stop like Charity Shop Sue 😂😂😂
Ah, my favourite off brand breaking bad episode.
😂 Well done! A few more trips and you might be able to cover the cost of Archie's coffee!!
damn, this british breaking bad remake looks fire
THE BOYS ARE BACK
CALOR gas. British. You aren't allowed to take compress natural gas through the channel tunnel 😇
This is like a middle class version of breaking bad
i like how they decided to get a magnet that is also the same size as 1 or 2 coins should have just gotten a big magnet
I mean, a big magnet would've literally sifted through for them. Surely this crossed their minds while there doing them 1 by 1?!

y'all need more vids bruh, y'all are dope as shit
how did they manage to get a propane tank over the border hahah
didn't go on any plane - simply drove underground from england to france i believe
Why in the hell didn't they get a decent size magnet and pull multiple coppers out of the pile at once.
All your uploads are bangers
0:47 me whenever I go to the arcade ready to play on the 2p machines
2:39 that's 1 hell of a loophole 😆
Great video again guys
And the boys are back
To avoid the melt costs why not just sell the raw 2ps to a scrap metal dealer in France
@@MisaloSloe No they wouldn't , its a scrap yard not a bank. they wouldn't give a toss that its legal tender in the uk and give you the scrap metal value.

Love your vids, I will wait, I will be patient. Because at the end of the day your vids make me laugh. Thank you guys

great vid lads
They really just did an infinite money glitch
Except all new 2p coins are made of steel. There's a finite amount of copper 2p coins.
“Two men with piles” nice double entendre. 😂
I could listen to you and Archie all day 😂😂😂
Your content never fails to entertain

brilliant work guys!
Guys Guys, GET A BIGGER MAGNET!!! would have been done in 1 hour!
You could've also purchased an electronic magnet and sorted the steel from the copper in 2 minutes :^]

How much would you get if you melted your silver spoons?
For some reason I saw the thumbnail and thought "another interesting Tom Scott video"
Can’t wait for in 100 years when the coins you melted would’ve been worth a shit ton
“It’s like R20 back home” 😂
