Yeah, Christmas shopping in Hamleys was unreal. Proper 1980's memories coming back ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a long time to completely fill the building though In Liverpool the Lewis' building was closed about a decade ago (it shut many years after Brum), the project to transform it still isn't finished and its an iconic Liverpool building. The project has stalled and gone bango at least twice I remember Lewis' My sister had her 1st job there when she finished school 34 years ago! Blimey I feel old now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queuing for hours to get a signed photograph of Neville Southall only for him to call me a clearing in the woods when I said I didn’t like Everton.

bickster Posted June 5, 2018 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2018 The Royal Mint producing special coins, like all the different 50p coins and now the A-Z on 10p coins. What is the point? Isn't taking old coins out of circulation and replacing them with new coins that won't circulate as much a bit self defeating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for example, they take 10,000 old coins out of circulation, then produce 20,000 50p pieces knowing that 50% of them will get stashed. OK I get that so far.... but that doesn't really explain it. They could produce 50% less to achieve the same result by not dicking about with the design. That costs less and doesn't encourage people to stash (albeit small amounts) money that will never get spent Still doesn't explain the logic of actually doing it. They are spending money on design, adverising and production, that surely must have a benefit somewhere? Like I said, what is the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
