The 1p and 2p coins have been reprieved "for years to come". Chancellor Hammond says he wants people to have a choice over how they spend their money - which seems a strange justification for keeping near-worthless coins. What really surprises me are the statistics that 60% of these coins are only used once and that 1 in 12 are binned. I reckon that's about £250k of the coins produced each year thrown away, which is a sad waste when it could be given to a good cause. Anyway, are we right to keep them? I appreciate the sentiment but can't really see the point. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48133093
