Coinage

Oddly enough it works out at £88.88p . Try it urself if you dont believe me ... and don't forget like most people do, the £2 coin!"

Isn't there also a £100 note?
Never seen the £100. It's only issued by the Scottish and Northern Irish banks, anyway. And they obviously don't count :P
And the £5 coin isn't in general circulation, being only produced for a couple of special occasions, so it doesn't really count.
I just looked it up on wikipedia.
Look
There was briefly a 25p coin, and there are 1/2pences (which I've seen), and 3 and 4 pences (which I haven't.) They're all legal tender, even though some of the 3 and 4 pences date back to 1822!
On top of that, they were apparently considering making a quarter pence coin. Talk about worthless!
I have a bag full of half pennies. Are they worth anything ? I also have a six-pence somewhere.
The New Zealand equivalent adds up to $188.85. What is it about 8s?
