Took me a while before the penny dropped!!

I tried to do this but not all of the coins have it, must keep an eye on the change in my purse until I have the correct 'issues' gathered up.

I just looked at them and wondered why. I also like doing jigsaws.

You are allowed, DJ. So did I, it was mentioned when they were first issued. It is not readily apparent to anyone who missed that news, though.

durhamjen Fri 31-Jul-15 20:09:00

Am I allowed to say yes, I knew it right from the start?

heavenknows Fri 31-Jul-15 15:49:01

I didn't know! Thanks for pointing that out!

Tha'ts brilliant! Took me a while to see it, but got there in the end grin

Thank goodness it's not just me, thanks for the explanation!

granjura Fri 31-Jul-15 09:56:41

numberplease, I asked OH and he didn't see it- I was so surprised he didn't notice me because he is so good at patterns and everything mathematical..

I knew, but only because I'd seen it on here before. Didn't spot it myself.

Well have to say I never saw it, so waited until someone posted an explanation. I blame my pound shop glasses....very clever once you see it.

Thank you for asking about it Granjura, I didn`t dare ask! Even my husband and daughter didn`t see it!

Bellanonna Thu 30-Jul-15 18:23:52

Thanks Loopy. Thicknonna

granjura Thu 30-Jul-15 17:56:24

oh wow doh! How did I miss that- well, yes, I never knew that. Thanks. Will go to bed tonight just a teensy bit less stupid- hurrah!

kittylester Thu 30-Jul-15 17:49:11

Oooh, yes! #thickokitty!

If you look closely gj you can see a shield where the lines join up with heraldry inside it?
It took me some seconds to see it (and an enlarged photo!); I was totally unaware of this and thought the lines on the coins were just random blush

granjura Thu 30-Jul-15 17:41:02

psst Margsus, could you tell me- I am feeling very inadequate too ;)

Margsus Thu 30-Jul-15 16:37:47

After gazing at the photo for ages and not seeing anything, I asked DS2 who saw it straightaway! Doh!

loopylou Thu 30-Jul-15 16:20:21

I didn't know!

ninathenana Thu 30-Jul-15 16:13:42

Same here hildajenniJ*

AshTree Thu 30-Jul-15 16:13:16

I didn't know about this either! And yes, it took me a while before the penny dropped. Love it!

hildajenniJ Thu 30-Jul-15 15:58:39

I knew, although I've never tried fitting them all together.

Nelliemoser Thu 30-Jul-15 15:48:13

Doingg! The penny has dropped. I will sort through by small change to try and repeat that.

Nelliemoser Thu 30-Jul-15 15:44:08

Ermm! I just don't get it.

merlotgran Thu 30-Jul-15 15:24:34

Ha Ha, downtoearth. DD put this on facebook and I did exactly the same until DSiL explained it. I then raided my purse and DH's very deep pockets to see if I could do it.

Ana Thu 30-Jul-15 15:17:05

I did the same, downtoearth - I certainly hadn't heard about it before!
