I would imagine anybody with an iron worker would have a bucket full of the slugs that get stamped out as a waste product.
Biscuits are a good form of currency or maybe if you are feeling a bit flush cake.
I use cider for bribing local artisans.
I recently paid a litre of cider and a fiver for ten car wheels with no tyres.
Bargain.

Oi! Isn't defacing the coinage still a capital offence?

The death penalty was abolished some years ago, but the UK retained the option for three crimes if I recall: treason, arson in the Queen's dockyard and piracy.
However the EU over-ruled us and even that was done away with (pun intended!) in about 1999. Or was it 1993...?
So no matter how badly you f***-up, you can't be put against a wall and shot. Which is a shame, but maybe that would lead us into political debate that might not clear the censors hereabouts...
