A pattern in change
I just spent 1.12 on a couple of bits and bobs (yes, I've been out early!) and handed over a fiver.
Q What was notable about my change?
A I received one of each coin in common circulation - 2 pounds, 1 pound, 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p and 1p.
Supplimentary comment Do you realise that in the UK, we have 8 coins in common circulation, whereas many other countires have far fewer. The USA has 1c, 5c, 10c and 25c ....
