A question only the P&P will ever know the answer to.

How much money is there in a pint glass full of 1p & 2p Coins?

A 2p weighs the same as two 1ps, so assuming they are made from the same metal that would make a 2p take up as much space as two 1ps? Obviously it depends on how they're laying, but it's the same with 5ps and 10ps too

Where?

I think you double counted the 1982 1p with the scratch. Look at the scratch.

About £2.50.

The old (pre 90's) coppers that are made of solid bronze are worth more in scrap metal than currency.
