Then there were old coins, especially those from the Brooke era which some say can be pretty valuable. I'm no expert, but these are some samples. Perhaps it's time to check your old piggy banks ...

Stamp and coin collecting were some popular hobbies that some of us - especially those who couldn't find dates for the weekend - had in those days.

Perhaps now the once dateless will find that they are now owners of some valuable treasures and get to have the last laugh ... all the way to the bank?
