This is interesting:
A guy tries to pay for diesel using a legal commemorative coin but gets in trouble with the police.
Why did he try to pay with a commemorative #coin?
Well as one person points out in the comments, it was a #scam from the #RoyalMint who sold £10 worth of silver for £100. They expected people to keep the coins but people bought them to spend. Since the spent coins would end up back at the Royal Mint, they ended up having to refund everyone. #News
I literally learnt more about that event from one commenter than the actual 'news' article.
Why don't newspapers actually explain anything? So many details, convenient or otherwise, missed out.
@lydiaconwell The very reason why I usually skim over news articles and immediately go to the comments section instead, that way I get enlightened much sooner. :)
