[HPFGU-OTChatter] Wand and British money

[Saitaina]

US money's not that hard to figure out.  We can reconize bills at a glance by the president  (trust me this isn't hard, just remember which president=what bill and your fine.)  If you're blind you seperate bills into diffrent sections of purse/wallet and have kindly store clerks tell you EXACTLY what they are giving you (and they will lest they be set upon by the whole line for cheating the handicapp.)

Dimes, nickles, etc is confusing and annoying, I've often wished  as a child they named them for their ammount, but we live with what we get.

Tax is a diffrent matter and is done state by state.  My current state (Oregon has aboslutly no sales tax and what you see is what you get), but California has a high sales tax and you should carry extra to the cashier.  It's stupid and annoying but the powers that be in the capitols (and the voters) have decided how much tax they want to spend so they can't really bitch about it.  It's just one of those things that you have to live with while living here or visiting (sadly)
