When i used to go to france for my family holiday every year (i live in southeast england so not far) i used to take as many 2p coins as i could because they were close enough to the €2 coin to work in those insert and twist sweet/small toy machines
British coins really seem absurdly overly-beefy for the monetary value they represent. I think it's a way of saving up metal for the next time the Germans need sorting out.
we're not allowed guns really so the only option will be to throw our ever diminishing currency at any invaders
