Walking past the university this afternoon a young man approached me and said he and a group of friends were conducting an experiment. He asked if I'd accept a £2 coin.
I said I would and told him I'd put it in the collection box in a nearby charity shop.
Students are on summer break so I don't think it was any kind of psychology research. Any ideas?

Did you actually get a £2 coin?
They took pity on you ;-)
I'd have been tempted to ask for more details whilst accepting the coin as you did and donating it.
Question Author
I did get the coin and went to the nearby charity shop to put it in the collection box on the counter.
Strange.
-- answer removed --
Were you begging! ;-)
What happened after you put the coin in the collecting box? Did anybody ask you any questions?
Question Author
I admit I do have a haggard and dishevelled look after my last long walk. I might look like a beggar.
Question Author
No questions. The charity shop is about half a mile from the front of the Uni
most odd !
Looking for people who show great levels of suspicion and say "No!"
Then write a thesis on it.
Sound like nobs.
no £50 notes being dispensed ?
I guess they were testing to see if people would actually accept it or not, very unusual though.
Question Author
Now that would have been a test of my character. Would i have kept my word and give it to the charity?
how would they have tested that, though, sandyRoe? Did they tail you to the collection tracy?
*tray*. Tracy was out with Sharon at the time.
you're not going to appear somewhere on a youtube vid ?
Question Author
I volunteered the fact that I was going to give it to charity.
Had it been 50 quid I might have had second thoughts. The test would have been of my own resolve.
