A survey has shown that 40,000 are squirrelled away every day in piggy banks and jars.
Not in my house they're not, they're still just about too valuable.
I must admit I am a stasher of pennies, twopences and five pence coins and only yesterday after reading of all the missing money took thirty-odd quids worth to the bank. It'll pay my paper bill!
