You may remember a while ago, I had a moment of weakness and returned to an independent supermarket I swore to boycott...well, now it's time for revenge :)

As I was clearing out my room yesterday, I coppery glint caught my eye. My collection of 'shrapnel', which usually sits patiently in a glass jar on my window sill, was impatiently saying 'spend me, spend me'.

So I think I should oblige.

Afterall, it does seems somewhat silly taking 1, 2 and 5p coins to New York. And why do that when someone else can really benefit from it? I know the little shop across the road will be eternally grateful...
