    Vending machine coin slots usually work on weight - not shape.

    Width of the coin is sometimes a factor as well.
    I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

        I don't understand why the 50 pence coin has an odd shape and the 1 pound coin doesn't. You'd think they'd want the pound to stand out more. It seems similar in size to some of the smaller coins.
        Bear in mind that the 50p coin predates the £1 coin...the latter used to be originally a note (and still is in Scotland).

        No change to the £2 coin then to tie in with this?

            Hey do they still have the two-metal 2 GBP coin? I remember when that came out in 1997 or 1998 and it was well cool.

                  You see a £1 note maybe once every two months.

                  What I'd like to see is a Common Market 50p, with the slightly creepy 'hand' design. When I was a kid you used to see them occasionally, but never nowadays.

                            I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
