Have you robbed a bank?

Must confess though, if I had, I would be doing exactly the same as you.

Got my sovereign boxes today only cheap ones off the bay but happy at about a tenner each

Not had any notes for a while.  Just in today a 2g Gold Panda note from the Nanjing Mint.  They do a 4g one which is plain stooopid.  It’s bascially 2x2g together  (like uncut note) to make the 4g.

My prize draw and a thoughtful christmas card from across the pond from @Lr103, and a little six pence I guess the history and age of them is the reason I like them

Is the 888 at the beginning supposed to be a lucky number? I guess the 88800088 would be the one to have

8 is a lucky number.  You will see a lot of Western mintages try and incorporate 8 for a lot of Chinese related coins.

Perth Mint Figure of Eight Coin - 8,888

Royal Mint Lunar Dog Silver Proof - 5008

Royal Mint Lunar Dog Bullion - 138,888

Royal Mint Lunar Sheep Bullion - 188,888

Canada Feng Shui Good Luck Charm - 388

Yes, in Chinese, the number 8 (ba) sounds like fa , which means to prosper or be wealthy.  The number 4 is bad though, as si sounds like the word for death.
