    This is about the printing money, and the conversion of cheaper metals for coinage.

    I'm aware of what its about, i just refuse to initiate a sensible discussion based purely on a daily mail article. I would much rather highlight the lack of validity of said newspaper, its way more fun.

    'Copper' coins are already mostly steel, hence why they're magnetic. They just have a copper shell.

    It's kind of up there with theonion as a source really.

    Sadly, I think often the satirical view of the world from theonion is closer to reality than the mail.

    Can we have an all out Ban of anything Daily Fail on this forum? I am sure they don't class as freedom of press/freedom of speech.

    Re: how long till a pound is worth 0

    Well i cant stand DailyFail anymore... to much tripe comes out from that!.

    However, without looking into it... if they're printing more money, can they send it all to us? 20k savings here in our family, parents slaved for the last 25 years to get that (scraping by... baked beans ) now its just becoming worthless, slowly but surely . You cant just keep printing more money, you have to stop at some point.

    Havent done economics in 4 years but i dont believe this is the answer
