Over the weekend I was a little short changed, and instead of receiving an Australian one dollar coin I ended up with a 50 euro cent piece instead. The two coins are very similar in size and colour so confusing them isn’t too difficult, I suppose.Not much I can do about it now. I don’t even know who slipped me ... Read full entry
