Think I've just accidentally spent my coin unique £1. Was sure I put it in my back pocket away where I normally put my change but all the £1's I have in my pocket aren't it

Not happy

I don't take mine out anymore, but when I used to - I put mine in a plastic money bag (the type that banks usually provide free of charge ).

If you're wearing jeans, there is a little pocket on the right hand side which is useful for keeping your special coins in.

I think everyone has spent their special coins at some point. you just learn from your mistakes and move on. It is a bummer though, I keep mine in a leather coin wallet now.

Sorry to hear that - expensive!! I wonder how many gimmicked coins are out there..

Best to keep it in the little bag it comes with to seperate it from the rest of your coins

Oh dear the amount of times Ive done that !

oh I've been there and done that one before too

When I worked at the bank, all the tellers used to hand me the half dollars when customers brought them in. Some were silver so those I exchanged, now I have a stack of silver halves but more importantly I would check them all for gimmicks as I've lost a few myself and every magician I've talked too have also lost a few along the way. I figure they have to be out there somewhere. I've never found one though.

You could intentionally try and spend a bent coin, then when someone questions it just bend it back. Although the start of the trick is technically illegal i think, hmm.
