Yeah my bro pointed out that nickels are thicker but when you're trying to get out the right amount of change quickly you don't really have the time to measure it up against another one or something
For us it's way simple:
Small copper = 1p
Large copper = 2p
Small silver = 5p
Large silver = 10p
Small hexagonal silver = 20p
Large hexagonal silver = 50p
Thick gold = £1
Large thick gold on outside, silver on inside = £2
You guys should take a leaf out of our books
Also £5, £10 and £20 notes are common in circulation, £50 notes(that'd be like the equivalent of your $100 bills atm ) are pretty rare and ATMs don't spit them out
