The smallest English bill is a 5-pound note, worth just about US$8, at the current [poor] exchange rate. As you might imagine, change can accummulate quite quickly, especially when you're unwilling--like me--to stand at the check-out and slowly sort through your 1- and 2-pence coins. (The largest coin, in contrast, is worth about $3.20.) So the short version of this post is that I have quite a coin farm going on my bedside table. By my calculations, the assortment in the photo is worth about $14.25. I'll have to use it before I leave the country because you can't usually exchange coin. Hmmmm...maybe I could pay my rent with it. Or buy Tom some fish-flavored crisps........
