The Purple Penny Coin News - Episode 32 2024, August 26th

Another arrest in the Bluey coin theft drama leads our news this week. We also look at how the Royal Mint in the UK has abandoned more than 1000 tonnes of coins in warehouses across the country. It’s our regular Q&A video so you can watch us do our best to address your questions! We’ll close out the video with some gentle reminders about how we do business here in the shop.

Always enjoyable and informative viewing, even if we're unable to participate in the live chat, so, Mark and Kathryn, thanks for the KZbin uploads! We've viewed every last one, and I think it's worth letting the Facebook and KZbin audiences be reminded they're there, with thumbnails that helpfully detail the many interesting subjects. Cheers to you both for these and your ongoing engagement with audiences, media, urgh, and the ecology, could I say, of the collecting bugs, buyers, sellers, traders, communicators, archivists, evaluators, historians of all kinds, and us many amateurs. As you've detailed, it often surprises what may come through the door, from the humblest or unassuming. I'm surprised you don't get more detectorist's finds, aside from raw gold, with rare and obscure early currency. Perhaps what's in demand of these kinds that you're interested in seeing may help bring these to light, or Mawson Lakes at least.
