Never tried that.

I did use a 2p piece and tap it up the reject slot to knock the microswitch on the Defender arcade game :wink: Used to get two little cut lines on the forefinger - this machine makers never deburred the bottom of the slots ::b (nowadays, I could sue for £50k due to trauma :roll: :lol: )
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

The Irish £ was worth significantly less than a UK £. I suspect that if the Scots were to have their own pounds, they too would be worth less than the UK £ because their social expenditure is so high. I reckon the english are propping up the scots who would otherwise have accelerating inflation like Zimbabwee.
The Scots do have their own banknotes , we get loads of them around here in the summer months when the Scots holiday here!
