Coin glut change damaging our pockets, say dry cleaners

When Alistair Darling lowered the rate of VAT last year he promised it would put more money into people's pockets.

Unfortunately, he has been proved right - quite literally.

It would appear that some consumers' pockets are being worn thin by the sheer weight of coins that they now have to carry around with them.

I hate having change in my pockets and typically put it in a jar at home or in the console of my pickup if I am out and about...warms my heart to find out I am saving pockets! rofl
