Can you rephrase the question so we know what we are looking at? I had no idea what I was supposed to be answering.
I liked the idea behind this teaser but would ask somethingfor the future. If folks use money in their question could we be told what coinage is within the currancy being used. Being English I know we have coins for 1p,2p,5p,10p,20p,50p,£1,£2, but how many Americans, Australians, South Africans etc do?
yea i totally was lost on account of i have no idea what our american coins are for british pounds
Hehehe, after the explaination I now know the currency in the UK
I know what you are saying 'Bell, but how many teasers are there on this site, that use American $$ and expect everyone to know about them?
People who use american currency denominations can also note what is available, as was requested in the earlier post.
WOOT! A teaser with british currency! I don't know what dimes and nikels are so its great to see currency I understand .
um, i dont know what the money symbol means or the p after the amounts. totally lost
yeah. i knew that it was british but i had to clue as to how to answer. well, you learn something new everyday right good to see things about and from other countries. not only the U.S
