Used to have loads when I was young, don't know what happened to them. Wouldn't have made my fortune though!
If you're after making money invest in some decent whiskies, limited editions or special bottlings, feis Isle fillings are usually a pretty good bet. Having said that wasn't there something last year about a batch of 20p pieces being minted without dates & being worth quite a few bob ?
Opinion varies as to how much those coins are worth...

My other half drives me mad searching through his change - he's still looking for one!
Your other investment suggestion is much better - but don't drink it all!
I had a couple of Spey Whisky special millennium blend in presentation boxes which were for the export market only, My son in law got them from clients and he doesn't drink whisky so he gave me one and my old man the other which came to be when he died, the boxed bottles would be worth quite a lot today but I said sod it and supped the contents and what a very nice drink it was too
What's the point of having a good malt whiskey and not supping it . I would have done the same.I had a couple of Spey Whisky special millennium blend in presentation boxes which were for the export market only, My son in law got them from clients and he doesn't drink whisky so he gave me one and my old man the other which came to be when he died, the boxed bottles would be worth quite a lot today but I said sod it and supped the contents and what a very nice drink it was too
Agreed, you can't take it with you and as long as jaysay kept the boxes he can still look at them and remember that lovely taste!
There isn't, that's why I try to get at least 3 bottles of a particular "Special". One to open & enjoy, the second to enjoy it again & introduce some of the peasantry I associate with to the pleasures & joys of a decent, not your standard run of the mill Whisky & the third to save for posterity & as an investment.
A little example, Feis Isle 2005 Bunnahabhain 12, Port finish - cask strength (766 bottles) GBP 55,00 at the time, seen on online Whisky sales/auction sites GBP 200,00 - 250,00 good investment to my mind.
Ya and believe me it was very very nice Frank, Spey is noted as being one of the very best Scotch Whiskies and I ain't arguing, I also had another one Ballantines 21 year old in a blue bottle and a velvet bag, I still have the bottle and the bag but sadly the whisky had to be used for pure medical purposes
One of the boxes is on my bed Gordon, I keep my current meds in it so I can access them easily and have a lovely taste in my mouth while doing it

We were on holiday in Scotland quite a few years since and decided that it was the wife's turn to drive and we would go on the Speyside Whiskey Trail, which took in quite a few distilleries. The introductory speeches got boring after a while but the freebies were most welcome. You could get Brahms and List fro free.Ya and believe me it was very very nice Frank, Spey is noted as being one of the very best Scotch Whiskies and I ain't arguing, I also had another one Ballantines 21 year old in a blue bottle and a velvet bag, I still have the bottle and the bag but sadly the whisky had to be used for pure medical purposes
Idea, given the title of this thread - sup the whisky and keep your small change in the bottle - got to find one with a big enough neck first though, Highland Park used to be very good but they've since changed the bottle.Ya and believe me it was very very nice Frank, Spey is noted as being one of the very best Scotch Whiskies and I ain't arguing, I also had another one Ballantines 21 year old in a blue bottle and a velvet bag, I still have the bottle and the bag but sadly the whisky had to be used for pure medical purposes
Always wanted to do that Frank but never quite got round to it, did do Ballentines in Dumbarton when I worked at a club there, A rep aranged for us to have a look round one night, I love whisky tasting
I've had an 8 pint Bells whisky bottle for coins in my bedroom for years, only emptied it about a fortnight ago there was £138 in it, well a bit more but my daughter took it to the ASDA coin machine think they take about 2% for their trouble, so its not worth the hassle emptying the bottle and bagging the money yourself
We sometimes go to the Buck Inn in Paythorne for a meal. It is a big pub with a small well stocked bar. He has the largest display of malt whiskies in the area . On tuesday nights he has whiskey tasting sessions. If you can tell 5 malts you win a bottle of Malt of the Month.Always wanted to do that Frank but never quite got round to it, did do Ballentines in Dumbarton when I worked at a club there, A rep aranged for us to have a look round one night, I love whisky tasting
