As in part off his pension is free coal for life?

Could ever have a lump sum or coal for life, he picked the coal as the cash payout was around £5000, which would cover the coal cost for about 3 years at the time. He's been having that for over 30 years at this point, pretty good deal!

What if he picked the lump sum and received a giant lump of coal worth £5000
