[QUOTE=Pogle;707234]Ah but the foil is the fun bit of it, its shiney and gold (or silver) and you can pretend it pirate treasure - or something.[QUOTE]

And you can spend them in Woolworths too.

Without an apostrophe? Dullard.

I was simply incorrect.
I feel the insult 'dullard' is too strong for a missing apostrophe.
Shall we say I was careless, and leave it at that?

Why don't they make the foil out of chocolate too?

The thing to do with chocolate money is to take a small knife and gently slide it around the edge of the top piece of foil, allowing it to fall off the coin. Do the same to the bottom foil, around the chocolate, to get the chocolate out. Put the top foil back on the bottom foil. Offer coin to someone else, whilst eating chocolate and laughing heartedly to yourself.

How about if I measure the diameter of the coin and work out exactly the amount of pressure to apply, taking into account such factors as:
Thickness of chocolate
cocoa content of chocolate (-the higher the cocoa content the more brittle I find it. 70% cocoa and upwards can be tough to snap.)
ambient temperature etc..

I think that one is more common sense to be honest. Needs more geekiness.

You just snap them in half and the foil falls off - easy

I also enjoy snapping off some chocolate on Xmas morn...come to think of it...every morn...

As long as it is big coins. I hate those tiny fiddly 5p things. Impossible to get the wrapper off.
