So, if I gave you: 21 x 1p 11 x 2p 101 x 5p 51 x 10p 51 x 20p 21 x 50pThat wouldn't be legal tender because they are 21p[1], 22p[1], £5.05[2], £5.10[2], £10.20[3] and £10.50[3]?
My Granddad never knew that when he sorted out the church collection! Thinking about it, is THAT why the plastic coin bags are always labelled with the maximum amounts per bag, so each bag contains one amount of legal tender? I always thought it was just to make them easier to count.
I've never seen a 25p or £5 coin btw? Julian [1] exceeds 20p [2] exceeds £5 [3] exceeds £10 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
