      Sir Paul McCartney heads to the long and winding railroad track for a new guitar pick.

      Plucky Paul left coins on the rails near his home so trains would flatten them.

      The Beatles legend returned later to collect them.

      An onlooker said: “Normally it’s kids who leave coins on the track, not a grandad. It was only when he returned did the penny drop – perfect plectrums.”

      Macca, 77, wearing shorts, T-shirt and a Team GB Olympic cap, placed a dozen one-cent coins on the Long Island Rail Road in New York’s Hamptons.

      Sir Paul was once said to have worn acrylic nails to stop his fingers bleeding, but returned to a plectrum.

      Other musicians, including Queen’s Brian May, have used flattened coins as plectrums because the metal is strong.

      But it is against US law to deface currency, with a fine if you try to spend it again.
