Victor Frankenstein @VictorFrankenstein (319) • United Kingdom 12 Jun

What can I do with foreign coins?

Victor Frankenstein @VictorFrankenstein (319) • United Kingdom 16 Jun

Like a lot of people, I'll pick up a coin if I see it in the street. And lately, I've been consciously looking for dropped coins, just for a bit of fun. I even started a spreadsheet to see how much I can collect in lost change...

Traceyjayne @VictorFrankenstein I think when charities get a lot of any particular foreign coin they just get them changed. I will check in our local supermarkets ….the machine does take some commission though .

Victor Frankenstein @VictorFrankenstein (319) • United Kingdom 21 May

Jordan Lader @VictorFrankenstein That's how I feel about purses. I hate purses. I have a wallet and now I have a back pack that pretty much just stays in the car.

Have I found the most efficient way to get rid of spare change?

Victor Frankenstein @VictorFrankenstein (319) • United Kingdom 17 May

These days I use cashback credit cards for the overwhelming majority of my spending. But years ago I made a real mess of my finances and got so far into debt that nobody with any sense would lend me the price of a stamp. In...

Traceyjayne @VictorFrankenstein Yes you can claim points and money in Tesco. ( two receipts per day can be added ) With Morrisons. Again, if you find a receipt that hasn’t used a card just scan the barcode. Do you use the Morrisons app ? You always have offers on...

Victor Frankenstein @VictorFrankenstein (319) • United Kingdom 15 Apr

Reading's what I do to relax when there's nothing else going on, so it's just as well that I have a houseful of books. And since I have several dozen Ace Doubles that I haven't read yet, I've always got something to read that...

Anindita Sengupta @VictorFrankenstein You are right. Here in India it's the big business heads that secretly decide which party to vote and they influence the media too. We too have the old and sick staying at home without voting.

Jim Bauer @VictorFrankenstein Whether those places are popular tourist destinations has nothing to do with what we were talking about. As for Trump and war, he has always opposed them, and that's well documented. He's never started one. He HAS taken actions. But that's...
