I think this one post dates decimalization (?) although I have a two shilling piece that I am pretty sure pre-dates it. Having read far too many books from England as a child, I’m ashamed to admit I always skipped blythly past the financial considerations and straight on to additional plot. I know there were smaller and larger amounts of money in coin, and that a little bit went a long way. I can remember a little bit of my own money going for three (3!!) candy bars. I can remember eating them all at once, all by myself too.

Send me pictures of your currency. Once you really look at it, it gets much more interesting. I think I’m going after an american 10 dollar bill soon.
