The Quid

quid

One of the annoying things about currency in the UK is that it is heavy. There is no 1 pound note. Anything less than 10 gbp is in the form of coins. There’s a 1 quid coin, a 2 quid coin, and a mess of other coins. It means you always have coins in your pockets, which for some may be not such a bad thing. For me, it seems to enhance a certain part of my body that does not require enhancement. As a matter of fact, there’s not even room for coins in that area which causes problems for me since I already get large pants for that reason. And by large, I mean XXXXL in the scrotum area.

I did ask one of my British mates on this and this was his response:

LN: the real question is why isnt there a 1gbp note?
Brit: There used to be. We moved on
LN: and what is the quid made out of?
Brit: Pure gold
LN: u mean fools gold. The dollar is made out of platinum. (FYI: Platinum is worth more than gold)

You forget the fiver. You know, the note that buys you half a bowl of ramen.
