The phrase "carrying coals to Newcastle" is an idiom that means to do something pointless or redundant. It is often used to describe a situation in which someone is trying to do something that is already being done or that is not needed.
The phrase comes from the fact that Newcastle upon Tyne, England, was a major coal-producing city in the 18th and 19th centuries. Coal was so abundant in Newcastle that it was often used as a form of currency. As a result, there was no need to bring coal to Newcastle, as it was already readily available.
The phrase "carrying coals to Newcastle" is still used today, often in a humorous or sarcastic way. It can be used to describe a situation in which someone is trying to do something that is obviously unnecessary or to express frustration with a situation that is already hopeless.
