Can I buy a beer in "Beeropolis" using only money found on the floor on the way there?
Added 2025-09-20 11:48:03 +0000 UTCIs there anything more pure and fun than hunting for treasure?
Today, inspired by Beau Miles's latest video, I go on a coin hunt. Last time it was just roundabouts, but this time I take things up a notch. Starting in Lichfield and loosely following the path of an ancient roman road called Ryknild street, my aim is to find as many coins on the floor as possible en route to Burton upon Trent, the brewing capital of the UK.
Whatever coinage I find on my 20 mile journey will be what I use to buy me a beer, be it a can of cheap lager from a corner shop, or a frothy pint in a pub.
The main flaw in the plan is that barely anyone uses coins any more, and you barely ever see them on the ground. Where there's a will there's a way though, and I'll be checking every roundabout, bus stop, railway platform and drivethru en route to Burton in the hopes that I can make this pipedream a reality.
Apologies again this one was late! The London editing combined with a couple of baby born illnesses really set me back. Back on track now though and super focused on giving you all consistent monthly $4 adventures!
Thanks everyone for your support. Hope you enjoy!
