Mr Sidewalker,

As a UK follower of your quest, I thought I’d drop you a note about the increased opportunities for neglected money over here.

You may or may not know that the UK government recently reduced the VAT rate from 17.5% to 15% in a vain attempt to regain control of the downwardly spiralling economy. This has impacted the price of many goods by a very small amount. For example, in my canteen at work, a cup of tea used to retail at a tidy sum of 45 pence; post VAT reduction, the cost of a cuppa is now 44 pence, hence creating many loose 1p coins.

Add this to the factor that my employer is a keen participant in the ‘hot desking’ phenomena and BINGO! I change desks approximately 3 times a week and more often than not there is a pile of unwanted coppers for the taking.

Perhaps I shall start my own UK based quest and do a study on how the VAT reduction has impacted the volume of cash nuggets to be discovered in the UK?

I’ll keep you posted.

Baby Katie, UK.
