Here's todays useless information re: currency in general and why the people on our paper money are all elderly or hairy. Apparently, a bearded or wrinkled face is a lot more difficult to forge than a smooth one. It's got to be harder to reproduce all of those little lines.

And the next bit of useless information - almost all the chocolate producing factories in Britain were started by Quakers - they were forbidden by law to go college so certain professions (those needing scientific or business qualifications) were unavailable to them. Instead, they went into trade and so, the great chocolate producing factories of the world were created. Go to CadburyWorld, near Birmingham (Bourneville actually, it's a real village!) in the UK and they'll tell you all about it.
