It&#039;s engrained in your psyche. It&#039;s not at all odd to me because I have no built in nickel meaning, I know it is a US 5 cent coin, but I also know there were silver 5 cents, and other oddities. Just part of the rich landscape of coin collecting, same way the $2.50 US broken bank note is not specially odd for being a fractional amount. Most people woulf find a $2.50 note pretty odd. I know that the regular US $2 bill is regarded with suspicion by the US young.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing I have stuck in my head is that a pound is worth something, despite the value being so trivial nowadays.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
