They could easy have used puts and calls on oil grain etc to make vast sums of money with their insider information - vast sums of money could have been exported and used to help the war , in effect getting the general public to pay for the instability

'Whenever the Kremlin denies something, you should assume it's true' Bill Browder, an American investor and prominent critic of the Kremlin, said he believes that Vladimir Putin was responsible for bringing down the plane that killed Yevgeny Prigozhin. "Whenever the Kremlin denies something, you should assume it’s true," he tells BBC News, saying the Russian government had denied involvement in the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014, the murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, and the Salisbury poisoning. "So when they come up with these lies the first thing you should do is look at the opposite," he says. Browder - who has described himself as Putin’s number one enemy - says Prigozhin angered the Russian leader by challenging his power when he launched his short-lived mutiny in June. "[Putin's] a dictator, nobody is allowed to challenge him. The way that he has succeeded in staying in power is by showing everyone that if you do anything that’s a challenge to his power, anything disloyal, that bad things will happen to you. Terrible things will happen to you," he says.

IN THE MONEY Brits urged to check purses as rare 50p coin sells for £150 after eBay bidding war – here’s how to spot it Tom Duffy Published: 19:14, 30 Jul 2023 Updated: 17:04, 31 Jul 2023 Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITS have been urged to look behind the sofa for spare change after a 50p coin was found to be worth around £148. The special edition coin, released in 2009 to mark 250 years since Kew Gardens opened in 1759, is now worth nearly £150.00. Is it not amazing that journalist just keep on repeating and repeating the same old "News" after 14 years it seams that every newspaper in the uk reminds its readers to look out for these coins every six months (Which by the way dont exist in circulation anymore) Roll on the new info about the undated 20p

Even the oldest people are now paying for lots of small purchaces on contactless admittedly its really popular but few places are refusing cash as well I am pretty sure it will take another five years or so for major refusals of cash to become the norm -

copper123 replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I would say thats about right ,smaller coins like sixpences and shillings tend to circulate less freely and seem to remain in better condition than halfcrowns after 15 years or so, a shilling would prob be in NVF grade -

copper123 replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I found a 1942 florin in 1986 or so . I suspect the 1952 halfcrown spent a long time in a piggy bank or forgotten about in a drawer well it would have been in fine or good fine with normal circulation after 15 years -

Halfcrowns did circulate quite a lot that coin shows all the signs of being taken out of circulation in about 1960 or so it looks like less that vf but to be sure I would have to have it in hand and i am pretty sure that will never happen LOL -

Yes this also contributed to the bubble in modern coins that happened in the early 70'sand late sixties , its easy to look back in old coin monthlies from that time and be horified at the prices ie Mint grade 1959 halfcrown £20 Anyone who paid those prices was well and truely stitched up -
