Guess Why This Happened... 1 1

[VKurtB]

I just returned from the U.K., and thought I'd share a story about coins from there.

 

You may know that the U.K. has two denominations that are used heavily for circulating commems, the 50p and the 10p. The Great British Coin Hunt is going on. The 50p has numerous types, such as the Gruffalo, Peter Rabbit, Kew Gardens, etc. The 10p has the British Alphabet. For example, B is for Bond, James Bond; C is for Cricket; U is for the Union Jack. VERY VERY few people even know about these coins being out there. Why? Coin roll hunters are going to banks to hoard them, and take the regular ones back to the bank. Who told me? Royal Mint staff. The prices asked in the secondary market are stupid.

The next time you feel like cussing out the W quarter hoarders, as I do almost every day, remember, incentives create behaviors, and they are fairly universal.

I supposed there are hoarders everywhere.

 

How come whenever I respond to someone the entire thing is above my reply but when other ppl reply it is either all by itself or they tag a person and only a little piece of the responded to comment is shown? Do you know anything about that VKurt? Or how I can see who reacts to stuff?

If you highlight some text, a little "quote" box pops up. On a desktop anyway; I rarely try to do anything on my phone. You can tag somebody by typing the "at" sign and then their handle @KarenHolcomb.

You can also quote a post and then delete all of the quote except the parts you want.

I would never have figured this out on my own. I only started noticing it being done about a month ago. Makes our threads much less sloppy, don't you think?

You can even make it look like a poster said something that they never actually said

Ha, then there's what happens at another forum, where somebody quotes somebody, then the moderator deletes the original post, so it looks like they're being quoted but they never said anything at all.
