When we travel to England we treat Pounds as equal to Canadian Dollars even though they are worth twice as much. It makes for a VERY expensive trip.

There is a British coin called a fifty pence piece ('cos its worth fifty pence - we don't work too hard at thinking up names for our coins). They are worth approximately $1 at the moment, so if you're over here think of them as dollar coins.

Although if you are thinking of coming over, wait a while. Its bloody cold here at the moment.
