Fun stuff

Today I paid for something. In the paying process, I took some loose change out of my bag and stared at it for five full seconds. I figured out instantly that the big coins were 25 cents, but those little thing ones which I've known my entire life are dimes, which is equivalent to 10 cents? Ha! Now way. I didn't know if they were 5 or 10 cents. The thing is, the British 5 pence coin is about the same size and since that's what I go with I didn't know anymore. *head desk* I just handed it to the teller with this dubious look on my face, like, "Is this correct?" Oh god.

Though it's fun to have four different kinds of currency in your bag. I got US dollars, euros, pounds, Mexican pesos... Fun.

No, I don't think so. It has to be US currency. That's why everyone gets so annoyed when they get a Canadian quarter in their change. And of course, I never notice until I'm already in the parking lot and can't prove anything.

Uh, we assume? Very few, as in almost no one, checks for watermarks anyway.
