Flamel on the Net / Fiftypence shape

Finally, I have the time to re-re-re-re...reread Harry
Potter. Well, of course I again came across the trio's
search for Flamel. My question is: if there is a
wizarding equivalent of internet, how could the search
for Nicolas Flamel be that difficult? Hmm... well,
let's say it doesn't exist yet in book 1 (don't think
so, though), Hermione, who got home for the holidays,
could try searching 'Nicolas Flamel' on the muggle
internet and will at least get the information that he
is the maker of the Philosopher's Stone (dunno about
info on his work with Dumbledore). Well...?

I just want this cleared up: what's the shape of a
50-pence coin for it to be thought of as weird by Ron?
If it is polygonal, and wizard coins are round (we
don't actually know, do we? the movie makes it round),
then fine, weird it is. But if it is round, then it's
a mistake on the movie's part to make the wizard coins
round too. So... is fiftypence round or what? (I'm too
lazy to look it up in the net.)
