How. Very. Random.

I was cleaning the sink and noticed there was something rattling about in the sink plughole. On closer inspection I found it was a coin. Which is an odd thing to have in the plughole of your sink anyway, but this one was a strange colour - kind of yellowish - and had twelve corners.

Taking it out, I found it was a threepenny piece. From 1944.

This coin is the same age as my mum. How on earth did it end up in our sink?

I'd have thought the usual way threepenny bits make it into houses is for putting them in christmas puddings. And then finding them, putting them in pockets, washing them, letting them go through washing machine filters and moving out.

I guess the house has been lucky for quite a few years now...
