It’s a little late for [Halloween fundraising ideas](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/02/06/effective-fundraising-ideas-for-charities-in-2017/),
I admit, but today’s video from The Royal Mint might present an idea for next year.

Their Engraver Laura Clancy has created a ‘Coin Canvas’of a ‘Penny Pumpkin’ to mark
Halloween today. It is not intended as a fundraising campaign, but that’s certainly
what I saw in it.

**Editor’s note:** _the video previously embedded here (https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=ZrwIccwIe-s) is no longer available._

It’s not on the scale of penny fundraising campaigns like [March of Dimes](http://www.marchofdimes.org)
and the like, but it might make a good collecting idea for schools or local groups.
How big can the Penny Pumpkin grow? Who can create the largest one?

The Royal Mint is encouraging the public to share its creations with the hashtag#
pennypumpkin.
