Coins

I feel like the States has a nice coin system... you have the penny (a nice bronze to help identify it), then the nickel (little thicker in your pocket), the dime (small, distinguishable), and the big quarter. Just at a glance, you can tell each apart easily.

Well... welcome to the land where coins make zero sense. There are 8 total. Now, I'm about to show you a picture, don't be alarmed...



From top left,
1p (= 1 pence), 2p, 5p, 10p
20p, 50p, 1pound, 2pound

All are different sizes, look, the 2p is larger than 1pound, the 5p smaller than the 2p, the 20p and 1pound about the same size and the 50p and 2pound about the same size!

So, imagine us, TONS of change in our pockets, trying to dig through every day to pay!

Why, England, why??
