Find moneyPeople tend to dislike the little copper coins - 1 and 2 pence. If you just tune your eyes into looking for them you'll see them everywhere. Especially good places to look are outside grocery stores and tube/train stations. I've even seen people just putting them on a wall or tossing them over their shoulder.
Yes, you might say, but they are worth almost nothing. True, but it depends on have you value things. After 2-3 weeks of daily looking you might have earned yourself a cup of coffee - and the pleasure of seeing how they react when you pay in 1 pence coins. Or you can always say to people " a penny for your thoughts"- and buy many thoughts. Save up many and give to a small child - they will consider it a fortune.
Just a word of advice; do not go coin hunting in fountains (or don't let anyone see you). People do not like that. They get very hostile.
I speak of experience.

I had a bad fountain experience too!
did i read this correctly? have you gone pence-hunting in fountains??
It's funny how people leave such things lying about. On the floors of cafes and trams, few people will stoop to pick up anything smaller than a 50cent piece. It is amusing.
Best of luck with your move, g xo
ha, ha... fountain experiences... ha, ha...
A penny for your thoughts is an expression that I like a lot :)
it'll be hard to spot any today though...snow's coming thick and fast over here :)))
