Yes sir. Also, 50 cent piece is RARELY used anymore either. Our system is a bit droll. I like the Metric more myself. Just a bit more logical.

And as it should be. It is always game time.

"known as Dime bar in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland"


What was that?

It was but about 2 years ago they stopped selling "Dime's" down here and only sold "Daim's". I had one last week.

It's a collector's item, but you couldn't spend it in a shop. It's worth more than £5.

Any system invented by the French is bad. Not to mention it was based upon the idea that the earth was a certain size that has since been disproved.

I don't eat the stuff anymore, and haven't for 6 years, but I saw some in Asda 3 weeks back called Dime. "Daim" is the Swedish name for them.

And yes, our system accomplishes only one thing - making everything more complex....

because Liberals decided they needed mroe money to waste on useless unconstitutional projects and could turn a prophit by creating another useless coin that they could produce cheaper than $1 and sell it to the banks for distribution for $1. of course everyone wants a coin with fake goldish coloring and an indian woman on the back...

No it's pretty much the same as you here.
