    Might as well take the opportunity to take 1p and 2p's out of circulation when the queen dies. Their scrap value has to be approaching that of the face value now. And gawd knows how much it costs to make 1p.

    I've just realised that if I put on a curly wig, I might pass off as the queen.

    And had a shave too.

    What do you mean another? The first one wasn't an error.

    Ahem.

    Under the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 (section 18 (1)) it is an
    offence for any person, unless the relevant authority has previously
    consented in writing, to reproduce on any substance whatsoever, and
    whether or not on the correct scale, any British currency note or any part
    of a British currency note.

    Bought me a budget camera - a Fujifilm AX250. 14MP, 5x optical zoom, HD video, £77. Apparently they were selling for £50 at Argos 6 months ago (it's an old model, at a year old).



    Macro mode, and I reduced the size of that image somewhat.
