[QUOTE="glpease, post: 243981, member: 18"] I keep an old English penny in my pocket, an artifact of the day when a penny was actually worth something, was made from copper, and could be used as button on a constable's jacket, or a weapon in a pinch. It's the same size as a US half-dollar, and is so ideally suited to opening tobacco tins, I'm left to wonder if they weren't originally made with that very coin in mind. (If you haven't got a penny then a ha'penny won't do, neither a coconut, a tuppence or a threpence, and the new pound coins, which carry about the same monetary weight as a penny did then, are much too thick. ;)) [/QUOTE]
