Steve NordRunner Nov 2022 11:01am, 29 Nov 2022 2,294 posts	0 Steve NordRunner I am one of those parents you mention - and it needs a really good clean. The eyes glitter at me malevolently. . What could you put in it these days that is worth the bother anyway - perhaps Krugerrands. What could you buy for a handful of coins?

Steve NordRunner Nov 2022 11:09am, 29 Nov 2022 2,295 posts	0 Steve NordRunner Looking at it, Jen HB, yours seems to be one from Birmingham, whilst mine is some kind of less impressive rip-off, which I actually bought in Norway maybe 20 years ago. It originally came with accessories in baby colours: two sets of a little hat and scarf in either light blue or pink, possibly suggesting use as a christening present or similar.

Raemond Nov 2022 11:37am, 29 Nov 2022 9,827 posts	0 Raemond I collect €2 coins because they power the shareslaundry facilities at my Brussels apartment, Steve, but if you don't have any coin operated appliances I can see how you might struggle to think of a good use for it... I'm smiling because I got an out of the blue message from an events company that I worked with as part of a rugby club thing back in the summer for a one off weekend, asking if I'd be available to work for them again this week (I'm not, unfortunately). It's heartwarming to know that they would want me back.
