Has anyone found any coins since the pandemic?

I had virtually stopped using cash anyway and I think the oldies who like cash are now too scared to touch it.

I think most money used to get lost on Friday night when people lost control of their senses and wallets. But now it is all cards and phones,

I don't walk around looking for pennies on the ground. I pay contactless using my watch. Only time I use a card is at the petrol station because it's selfserve.

I found a coin on the floor of a supermarket by the checkout about a month ago. I think I've found coins on the pavement on a few occasions over the last year or so.

I never used to find much money, so I don't know if this is slightly down on previously or about the same.

Isn't it still useful to have a few notes and coins?

I always keep a few notes on me, just in case. Before the pandemic, there were several occasions where the buffet car on the evening train didn't have a working card machine and I was able to skip about 6 people in the queue and get some wine. I know quite a few people who just 'never carry cash', feels a bit bizarre but they probably don't into much trouble because of it. 🍷🍷

I've not picked up any for ages, still hark back to the 1980s when I found a whole tenner just outside my school.
