<p>[QUOTE="David D, post: 2976251, member: 92781"]That sounds like a great trip [USER=92781]@David D[/USER] I would love to go to Stockholm and Amsterdam. Usually a chisel would be used to cut the coins, or very strong shears. English pennies aren't very thick, so it doesn't take much to cut them. Some of the cut coins are nicely done and others horribly mangled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p><p>Until reading your post, I had no idea that they would cut or clip their coins for items that cost less. It makes complete sense when you factor the value of the penny then, compared to now. You will love Stockholm and Amsterdam. The people were just fantastic and 75%, if not more, speak fluent English so navigating both was quite easy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
