Title: What surface do you prefer to noodle on?
Post by: MattGold on March 23, 2015, 10:07:30 AM
Hi all, long time no post!! Just wondering what type of surface members like to noodle on?

I like to use the matting that goes on the cupboard to help stop things sliding, I can't think of what it's called.

Non slip grip mat. :angel:

I used to noodle sitting in my armchair while keeping ½ an eye on the TV, so basically I guess I was using my lap.

My son had a Pie Shop back then and all coins that were passed as payment went into a large container for me to noodle that night.  Coins would be sorted into denomination, then year before I started.

I used a heap of divided take away food containers to sort into years. By doing them that way, I was looking for specific errors as well as new ones.

Yeh the matting I use I get from the local cheap shop, I find it does the job. Change colour everynow n than too to make it fun lol.

I wish I had a family member that owned a shop so i could noodle all the change, lucky you for when he had it.

I used a calico bank sack for years, on a round glass table, with a strong halogen lamp by my right elbow. That was when I was noodling ten grand a day.

Nowadays, I tend to use a couple of those handy mushroom tubs from Aldi. Source coins in one, noodle over another, drop the rejects in, stack the finds to the side and sort them later. Many months later, currently.... I need my Mojo back! :angel:

I use the dinning room table that has the old formica or whatever top.   We have had since we were married and is about to be replaced.

Many millions of coins have slid across this table.

Just on a wooden table usually.
