Pennies drop in pay row

Fred Raine was in for a shock when he received the balance of his severance pay.

Instead of a cheque for £1,300, an 11-stone crate containing thousands of coins from 1p to 20p coins was dumped in the hallway of his home.

I'd have been tempted to say no money had been received, and that I was still owed the £1300.
