"24% use pennies."

My father, a time-served joiner (now retired) always kept a couple of
old pennies in his toolkit. They were just the right thickness, for
the gap required between the top of a door and the casing when he was
hanging a new door.

Agreed. But I took that comment as meaning that they used them to try to
turn screws?

No, pennies were too thick, he used ha'pennies for that. ;-)

What would be best now? 50p or £2 coin?
