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.

    • @comatoast5610
      @comatoast5610 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I mean, a big magnet would've literally sifted through for them. Surely this crossed their minds while there doing them 1 by 1?!

    • @J_-_
      @J_-_ ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

      @maticrus6838 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@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 😂
