I have just had a sneaky Google of this and apparently it's true. I am hopeless at links but there is a site called Jerrychicken and an article came up entitled When Jam Jars Were Currency. You learn something new every day.

My aunt and uncle are currently staying with me. Both in their early 70's and from Liverpool. They have been regailing me with story's from their youth. Mostly I can remember the same things (there's not much of an age gap) but they have told me that when they were children they use to go to the Saturday matinee at the'pictures' (cinema) and pay with jam jars! 1lb jars let in one child 2lb jars let in two children. Can any of you confirm this as true or are they both 'pulling my leg' ?
