Halloween and coins

So, this year my fiancee and I carved Pumkins for halloween. We sat outside on a chilling evening with a bowl full of "candy" and as we carved pumkins we handed it out to children tick or treating down the street. The really funny thing that happened, happened next morning. As I drove to work I saw that "youths" had be out and about that very evening. It seems that they took people's jack 'o' lanterns and either smashed them or placed them in roads for cars to hit. Now here is the interesting part. They left mine alone but took my fiancee's. Im not saying hers did not look as nice as mine, but she has a tiny bit less patience than me and so it did not take as long. I find it so interesting that kids out there who ARE destructive, can still recognise effort put in to carving a pumkin and have the respect to leave it alone!

The English Mint released last year a new set of coins for use by the general public. Together a 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 pence pieces display the Royal Standard. Now if anyone finds a 50 pence piece. Please send it to me! The bottom is sorely missing!
