There you yanks go, making up new words again :P

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 :P

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 :P

Also £5, £10 and £20 notes are common in circulation, £50 notes(that'd be like the equivalent of your $100 bills atm :P) are pretty rare and ATMs don't spit them out :P

Its honestly not that hard, but then I grew up with it :lol:

The only two coins that do confuse me when I come across them are Half dollars and the old Susan B Anthony dollar coins.

I don't know when the last time I saw a JFK half dollar was outside of my husband's collection and the SBA $1 coins look too damn much like quarters.

At least the Sacajawea $1 coins are gold colored and apparently the US Treasury is minting some new $1 coins rotating through the presidents just like they have been with the state quarters that are supposed to be gold colored too.

Yup because you can tell what it is just by a quick glance :P Rather than feeling the surface of the edge or looking to see how thick it is, size, shape and colour make it pretty easy to tell the coins apart.

You tell me those aren't easy to tell apart and I'll tell you that you need a new pair of glasses :P

Actually what that is is searing the meat to keep the juices in. It is a legitimate cooking technique that is the best way to start off any steak cooked in a pan on the stovetop no mater how throughly it is to be cooked. Or not cooked as the case may be.

I honestly used to order my steaks "warmed up strictly for public appearance's sake". :lol:

Hare Krishna

My brother lived in a Krishna neighborhood while going to school (not a Krishna himself, it was just cheap housing). I kinda got to know 'em a little that way. They made good neighbors.

Krishnas are for the most part nice, well-mannered, & friendly. However, there's also a strong fanatical subset. Any time you see a public conspicuous gathering of Krishnas, you can be nearly certain that a few of them are armed. If you're at all inclined to hassle them, might want to think twice about it.

Fine then I am calling your coins Not simple..

Image

That is simple, especially when you consider the last Two coins on the right are nearly Never used in circulation any longer. that leaves us with 4..count em..4 coins. You have roughly 8 coins with several of them being close in size.

Nickel is smaller and thicker then a Quarter, edge is irrelevant honestly. :roll:

But I have a better solution..

Image

Lighter, accepted everywhere and does not end up in your couch cushions. :lol:

Yes 4 coins of which 2 look very similar :P

Having less coins does not make it simple. You guys just like using a lot of paper, so we have more coins but it makes dealing with change very easy :P

Edit: It wouldn't have been cost effecient for me to have paid by credit card as I'd be charged for using it in your smelly country :P

Ah you enjoyed your visit here and you know it. :D

Besides, in america the only coin that matters is the Quarter anyhow. The rest go in the change jar and sit there for 10 years until being dropped into a change machine.

Yea I know you get charged, that is the major concern I have for my upcoming trip to Japan. I have not carried cash on me in years now, and if I attempt to use my card like usual I am going to get the sin charged out of me over there. :shock:

True dat except a change jar of American coinage is somewhat useless to me :P Generally I'd use notes or "bills" to pay for stuff and get coins back, which obviously leads to a big build up in coins and a loss of bills :P
However we found a good place to dump all our nickels and dimes and some quarters, coke machines in the hotels would usually take them :D
