Although spare change may seem a nuisance, sitting in jars or weighing down your pockets, a single coin actually possesses a range of possibilities!
As this useful infographic from Wink Bingo shows, small change can come in handy for a variety of DIY chores both in your home and out in the garden. So if your tools are somewhere out of reach near the back of the shed, or you’re simply having trouble removing a tricky lid, try a penny – you’ll be surprised at how easy they can make things!
These incredibly helpful tips and tricks cover a variety of situations. A wobbly table for example can soon be fixed by placing a coin underneath a table leg; and for a more permanent solution – use superglue to attach the penny.
Meanwhile in the garden, if you can’t start your lawnmower, try rubbing a penny between the condenser and the engine. This improves conduction and should get that mower up and running.
Besides DIY jobs, pennies can be a handy material for arts and crafts, such as quirky decorations around the home, clothing accessories, and even jewellery. If you’re missing a button on a jacket, you can drill two holes in a coin, sew through some thread, and there you have it – a shiny new button!
