The MAS spare change finacial accumulator

We all know that feeling of joy when riding around a skatepark, spotting some pennies dropped by some hapless blader, and pocketting it before anyone notices.
So here's the idea.
Everyone who finds any spare change in a skatepark posts up how much they pocketted, and adds it to the financial accumulator.
Last night at Radcliffe I picked up five rather battered 1p's, so that makes 5p so far.

There are only two rules;

1. no making things up or robbing kids. It has to be actual amounts you really have picked up.
2. you don't have to come from Scotland to join in.

So lets get pocketting - The MAS spare change finacial accumulator currently stands at 5p.

Can we include Multi Storeys in this, as i spend my time in them......

Dogging?

Kids got 2p today at Hebden and 12p last week at Ripponden...
That's my retirement fund sorted !!

Fair enough. Good joke from the Edinburgh fringe. Crime in multistory carparks is wrong on so many levels.

i'm from yorkshire so if somebody drops a penny it usually hits the back of my head

Well it has it's ups and downs

i picked up half an old shoe lace and two bushings the other day at the house

was quite pleased with myself as i spotted em, looped back & picked em up while squatting down & rolling past


also found a quid on the floor a couple weeks back

i'm pretty certain it wasn't mine already

tho there's a small chance it was lol

I found a big piece of tooth at a skatepark a couple of years back. I could alway put it under a pillow I suppose.

Am I the only f*cking person playing this properly? I found a shiney new 5p piece at Radcliffe today!

The MAS spare change finacial accumulator currently stands at 10p.

2p at Slades Farm today, cherching!

Good man Nod!

The MAS spare change finacial accumulator currently stands at 12p.

I found a £20 note once .... was a good day.

Found a tenner outside the Trafford Centre last time out, and I skate the overflow carpark. Does that count?

Found a completely mullered kids BMX at Harrow last weekend.......I could put that on e-bay and see how much I get

8p and most of a pack of B&H, which apparently is about a fivers worth in real money. Donated the fags to a worthy cause (my mate Jake)

If you think it counts, add it to the accumulator.

2p in the small bowl at Clissold this morning.

The MAS spare change finacial accumulator currently stands at 22p.

2p at Crawley yesterday, plus about 14p over the year

my kids now keep all the skateboard park cash in a jam jar !!

2p at Crawley yesterday, plus about 14p over the year

I'm only adding yesterday's tuppence.

The MAS spare change finacial accumulator currently stands at 24p.

last year i found £5 at chester zoo and £20 in the bogs at the king and queen warrington

the lost money tree has been totally fruitless this year

last year i found £5 at chester zoo and got paid £20 in the bogs at the king and queen warrington

You don't come cheap, do you Ian?

Shaftalot found a £2 coin last friday night at R-Kade I was witness to that it was in the dust on the big ramp

from this morning

10 Australian cents = 0.0650100493 British pounds

I'm saving up for a cup of coffee - 25 more finds like this will get me there

The MAS spare change finacial accumulator currently stands at £2.24.0650100493p.

actually Chris I think the MAS cash counter should read 2.3050100493 - my fault for giving this mornings australian treasure in units of pounds sterling when pence would have been more appropriate for the sort of sum we are looking at. I also should have said 24 more finds of the magnitude recorded in my previous post will get me a cup of coffee - specifically a long black from the coffee lady who visits my workplace in her coffee van every morning during the week. If I was to go to a cafe I would be looking at an even more extended saving period.

the conversion rate seems to be fluctuating by the hour, I just put it in to google again to check and got

10 Australian cents = 0.0652800785 British pounds

A$ is rather high at the moment, simply due to China's demand for the minerals we mine. Australia is unable to run its economy intelligently and our manufacturing sector is really struggling as a result of the high exchange rates.

Will there be a table and charts so we can find the best parks to visit at certain times for maximum financial gain, or should I just shut the fuck up ?

Is this some kind of pyramid thingy?, are you going to ask for my bank details?, do I get a christMAS hamper?

What are your bank details?

clocked a penny on the ground at the jet wash earlier ..... didnt pick it up because it was wet .....

You're clearly not from Scotland, are you Ian?

Maybe you should explain copper wire was invented by two scotsmen fighting over a penny , it might make things clearer

I was told by one of the locals of hastings that when the old metal ramps were removed by the council they found a couple of hundred in coins underneath.

5p from Runcorn this morning, there was a dead smurf in one of the bowls but we left it to R.I.P. sorry Nod!

Smurfs appear to be taking over Radcliffe at the mo, attached to scooters and BMX handlebars. There's a McDonalds at the bottom of the hill which is where they're coming from seemingly.

Collected 2p this morning but heading out to Radcliffe now to see what else I can find.

My alternative financial accumulator got off to a good start this morning at Dorchester, 7 pence and a rather fetching blue woolly hat

3p during my easrly sweep of dartford bowl this morning

Fuck me, If I signed up to this forum a day early I would've made a killing on this topic...

I went to Southglade park yesterday morning and found a bomber jacket, a checkered shirt and a pair of jeans... all of the about a foot from one another... of course I didn't touch the fucking things (I didn't know about this MAS scfa), but I thought: Did some cunt came here last night pissed out of his head, saw the bowl, thought it was a pool, undressed and dived in? I picked up the pace heading to the bowl, hoping to find a half naked chav splattered face down in the deep end like a lion/bear rug... but no luck...

In the meanwhile, a local kid on a scooter approached, nodded at me and I go: 'Does this shit happen often?' pointing at the clothes near the street area and he goes (resigned face, thin voice): '...yeeaaaahhh...'

2p at vicky park

I just found a penny tonight at the house when I was sat takin me pads off
