Compo 10,326 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 #50: I was at an auction last week and a chrome plated £sd money box was up for sale. It had slots for all the different denominations of coin but no key. Had I won it I may have had many hours of poking and prodding each time I wanted to "Spend a penny" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
