That's up to you, but sterling is relatively soft and easy to manipulate with your fingers or a stick of wood of the right size and shape....
I would suggest waiting until you sell it. My experience is that those who consider old things to be junk will continue to see it as junk, even...
Holly’s link is one roll for £14. I still can’t imagine what it is used for? So it’s used instead of a picture frame?
