[HPFGU-OTChatter] Wand and British money

[lizscford at aol.com]

good luck with your exam(s)!!!

You see, I can't understand why British coins are difficult.  Like French and 
German ones they are all different sizes and shapes.  Fine I grew up with 
them but even when I go to other countries I don't find it particually (sp?) 
difficult to work out what is what.  
Here, I would say it's even easier than other places because the only rule 
you need to work on is that anygold coin is good for everything, silver coins 
are useful bits of change that accumalate quite nicely at the bottom of your 
purse and coppers are an utter waste of time and effort and should have been 
taken out of circulation years ago...
The only thing they are useful for is that if you stick two pennies together 
with glue (not too thick or it doesn't fit!) the chocolate machine at school 
thinks that they are a pound coin...not that I would ever do something like 
that of course (ahem!!).

just my two sickles worth!
