Ah - thanks.

I suspect that here in the UK we get notes in change more often, giving a 20 pound note and getting back a 10 or a 5.

We also have gone to using coins for 1 and now 2 pounds, with the notes being 5, 10, 20 and 50 - though there was a spate of forgeries which now makes many people wary of taking a high denomination note. The new designs are rather pretty, with shiny bits.

Our wallets are deeper than American ones - my husband bought a wallet off eBay and found that it would not contain the UK notes, but it was fine for the dollars.

Maybe someone could inform the US Government that their money being all the same size and design makes it look like Monopoly money to the rest of the world -

Oh - hang on - I just had an awful thought....


You don't think it could be MEANT to?
