I can just see the teller’s face when he presented his lone nice shiny 50p coin.

I had a cheque for exactly $1.75 a while back. It would’ve cost me £2.00 to bank it. How rubbish. I was tempted to frame it (being a work related matter) but opted for the shredder instead.

Is that viking for “if you save a penny a day, after a year you’ll have £3.65″?
I once had a computer printed cheque from work for £1. It was done in columns that rubbed in the fact they were paying me ZERO ten-thousands, ZERO thousands, ZERO hundreds, ZERO tens, and ONE pound and ZERO pence. Pinss to say I didn’t feel the need to deposit it, apart from in the bin.

I once entered one of those competitions where you can win anything from £1M to £1. I won £1, so I cashed it - it didn’t cost me anything, and since the company is betting on noone bothering to cash £1, I thought I’d prove them wrong

I find it rather hard to imagine why a sentient being would bother with banking a 50p.

I once bought an ITV digital freeview box on 1 years pre-paid subscription. Those of you who know what I’m on about should also know that they went into liquidation. Luckily for me my subscription had just expired, so I lost nothing.
about 8 months later I got a cheque from the administrators for £2.00 as partial remuneration from the loss I incurred from them going bust.
I thought “thank you very much”
who’s laughing now…
…no-one I suspect
