Can anyone tell me why there are so many brand new 5 cent coins around? They seem to be all over the place. My wallet is full of them, the petty cash box at work is overflowing with them, when I pay the parking attendant R4.10 he returns the two 5 cent pieces because clearly he has his own stash somewhere in a moon-bag.
Brand new shiny 5 cent coins. Why? Where do they come from? Is it the missing socks people giving back to society? Bet you if you open your wallet right now you'll find at least a few, and some more loose ones lying around in your bag. You'd think they're breeding or something because in fact, they seem to be mysteriously spread all over your home as well. They're just all over the place. Taking over the planet...
Seriously. Why do we need new ones?
Another thing that puzzled me over the weekend - can you pray over a McDonalds meal? Seems pointless. Like praying to be blessed when wilfully sinning. Not gonna work I don't think.
I never have the stuff but then went to see a movie with the family on Friday night, and beforehand we all ordered take-aways. Since the budget was glaring at me and I really did feel like having a burger of some sorts and Steers has disappointed me too many times, I opted to join my brother in a McD's. Well really, I can confirm that this is indeed a very cheap meal. Easy on the wallet. Quite simply, because you feel so nauseous and heavy afterwards, that you simply cannot manage to have your customary popcorn and smarties for the flick no matter how long the tradition has been in practice. The only thing you crave is litres and litres of water. For days. Really saves you a lot of money.
I wanna say try it, but I don't dislike anyone that much.
Anyway.
Enough.
See if I can find some chocolate somewhere...

ha, ha - so true. They must stop minting those little Fivies already!
I agree about Macy-D's - Once or twice I have caved and bought a "meal", only to feel miserably nauseous afterwards - Ian still teases me about the time I wolfed a burger on the way to the gathering... lets just say I don't remember the service at all... :-)
Another question may well be:
"Why the heck do they have coins for under a rand any more anyway?"
I don't think many people would even bother to bend down to pick up those in the street today. . .
...since you were so kind to share this wonderful revelation with us, I've seen 5cents EVERYWHERE!
