Mornings before school, Pinky and the Brain, lets take over the world.
My first portable
Bravestarr and Thirtythirty
Sometimes one needs to disconnect. When I don't want to be disturbed by life, I switch off my main phone altogether. Psychologically it's better than putting it on Silent. But my back-up phone ( a cheap one which I bought for R179 !!) doesn't connect to the Internet so I leave that on and only my brother has the number, in case of an emergency.
Great idea
Perhaps keep the current smartphone for work and normal activities
Then get a new "stealth" phone like yours with a different number thats just for close family.
Hmmm....
@Silver if you want to go for a cheapie - after all, it's just a back-up - I got mine at Ackermans. It's not bad when you think of it. For R179 I can make and receive calls and SMS AND I have a calculator and alarm clock!
EDIT: AND one can put two different SIM cards in it too.
WOW - Those prices !!!!
Still got a lot of those[ R1 , 50C ,20C etc] - the ''old'' people kept it in the hope they will be worth something in the future ....are they worth anything nowadays ?Those twenty cent coins were epic!
Arcade games
Lol, im not sure @ARYANTO
I doubt theyre worth much though
I remember those R1 coins, they were large!
And I even have a R2 note somewhere. Remember those? It was bluish in colour
I think before a certain date those R1 's contained silver or at least xx % [Google, here I come...]
An easy way to check if your R1 coins are silver is by using a magnet, a fridge magnet will do. If the R1 coins stick to the magnet it is not silver and only worth face value.Coins minted from 1965 onward have no silver value, they are made from nickel - thesilverspot.co.za
EDIT - If you go to -numista.com- it is another story , there you will see other seller's coins and what they want / auction their coins for - a big difference in price ....wonder who is revving who in the ''old coin'' market ??? .

I had to go Google this - never seen one in my life ?!
Alot comes into play when coins involved. The year, the condition , loose coins, set coins etc.
But they will be worth more than current value but you have to sell it in the right place.
I had a ton of SA coins which sadly got stolen a while back by a worker but they took the less valuable (newer coins) at least as they could be used probably to buy snuff or some kak.
I bought this set for around R80 12 years ago and last I checked 5 years back they were around R200
Some of my more current and older coins.
Then I got a bunch of overseas coins not sure if they worth anything most between 10-20 years old but I just like coins.

numista.com Go have a look there . they listed all the S.A. coins from 19 voetsek to now, and also show what the selling prices are for similar coins on various platforms - I have all the Mandela r5's and misc other newer r1 and r2 . Like your proof set .Here is some of mine -have a whole big tin full of various old new and overseas .

So true @Hooked ,and most of us turned out not totally crazy, not totally bad, not as villains. Maybe we have to relook and hope our grandkids can join us for Tarzan and Cinderella etc instead of the supposedly “correct” cr@p they keep themselves busy with these days. If we are ever blessed with that privilege. A good old gatslaan when needed without trying to murder us maybe made us better people.
I am hoping to be able to have ice cream for breakfast again, pudding first, and bake beans so that everyone knows you’re having a great bath.
And the ZX81
