I've always wondered why on earth does the finnish government still make 10p
coins. The metal for the 10p coin is actually worth 17p and no one even
likes to use such a small coin. So actually, if you'd like to make some
money, you could change your money to 10p coins, melt them and sell them as
metal. :)
