So if you've been following this little experiment, you'll know that it all stemmed from a little challenge @goldmatters set, some 4 months ago:

https://steemit.com/goldmoney/@welshstacker/what-in-the-world-is-goldmoney-giveaway-entry

"Ever tried going to your local supermarket and at the till offering to pay with silver??? You'd be laughed out the store... But this is exactly what your #goldmoney credit card allows you to do"

Well that's exactly what I've been doing these past few months. Going along to some of my local retailers and trying to spend a 2015, £2 silver Britannia for face value. Now if I'm honest, what I set out to do has not gone exactly to plan and has actually backfired.

So what I've decided is that giving my silver to charity would be the best thing to do. So this is the final "where can you spend a silver coin?" ☹️

So as I usually go in there and scout about for bargains, I thought it best to remain anonymous and write a simple letter explaining what it was I had given them and what it was actually worth.

So after work I went and delivered my little silver coin that I hope they can sell to raise some money.

So although it's been a blast, I'm glad it ended this way and that the britannia will be put to good use.

Thanks for following and I hope you enjoyed this little experiment.

Ahhh, the end of an era. I enjoyed these posts, but what a great way to finally spend your coin.

Yeah it's been great watching the faces of the poor cashiers that have no idea what I'm giving them.

I may do another 1,but for now I've kind of been to most major retailers in my area.

You can spend them at pit bullion 😁😂

Maybe if I visit I will 😉

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

Awesome series, I'm sorry it's come to an end. Though I must say I never thought it would make it to the charity giveaway! Thanks for the entertainment.

The actual point was to be able to spend it, I was surprised it went on this long too.

Glad you liked it, I'm going to have to think of something new now to entertain you lot

Yeah man, here's 5 cents, get to thinkin'.

I enjoyed this series of your blog, nice one buddy...

Cheers mate. I'm going to have to think up something new now

This was a really cool series! I am glad you were finally able to find a good home to "spend" your silver. I am sure they will do some good with it :)

I hope so and I'm glad it ended up there. I hope they don't give it away for pennies. I put the silver content value in the letter so they should at least expect to get that
