**Some more selected tweets for fundraisers, offering ideas, inspiration, and the
occasional humour.**

 

## 1. More valuable 50p coins

How much is a 50p coin worth? It’s a trick question because, as you’ll know from
our coverage of the [Kew Gardens design 50p](https://fundraising.co.uk/2014/02/21/check-collecting-boxes-rare-kew-gardens-50p/),
some are quite rare and worth quite a bit more than 50p.

Here’s the full range, so keep an eye out for them in your collecting tins:

## 2. Bezos’ billions

From 50p pence pieces to billions of dollars. [Amazon’s Jeff Bezos](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/06/19/five-tweets-fundraisers-19-june-2017/)
recently asked for advice on how he could best use his billions for philanthropy.

## 3. The new £10 note

Back into more familiar financial territory, the Bank of England has unveiled the
new design for the £10 note, featuring Jane Austen ([a woman!](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25641941))
on the reverse, marking the 200th anniversary of her death.

Time to get ready for handling the note, whether in charity shops, collecting tins
or elsewhere.

## 5. Diverting diversity

Many charity and fundraising adverts are based on an awareness of how people should
not be depicted – as victims, as stereotypes, as helpless etc. Nevertheless, a new
report on advertising and gender stereotypes might help fundraisers challenge their
own unconscious bias.
