When I fixing up my car in 1999, an old guy across the road called Cecil offered various advice. One thing he suggested was to use an old penny instead of a replacement core plug on the front of the block. He said they used to do this because the core plugs cost 2d, so it saved them 1d. I used a 1917 penny and it was in for many years - but eventually changed it for a normal core plug when I noticed it was leaking a bit.
