    surely a tenner? I'm not sure where the twenty is used but I always have a few tenners in my wallet.

      I hesitate to enquire what a gold plated crack pipe is.

        The might as well get rid of coppers now. The 2p piece is enormous and practically useless.

        Interesting factette: The 20p and 50p pieces have a fixed diameter but not a fixed radius.

          Really? That so doesn't sound like you. I've always thought of you as a decisive, politically incorrect kind of poster.

                Our coppers aren't totally useless. They still have 1¢ coins in the US which IS pointless though.

                2ps are good for those games at the arcade where you try to win more 2ps.

                  I have a 2p and 10p one armed bandit in my hallway. Always keeps visitors occupied.

                    Do you give them a plastic cup of instant coffee if they stay more than half-an-hour?
