(by the way I could try and send you one if you want :P)

Even though, hopefully, you will be seeing lots of German coins in the near future, I couldn't ask you to send me any of your hard earned cash. I know how poor you student types are :-P

As I'm in Germany for a weekend next year, I'll have to try and grab one :)

Back when the UK had capital punishment, I thought the proper execution method for commoners convicted of treason was drawing and quartering.

Actually I remember doing this in early humanities at school. I think you're right. Except maybe it was hung, drawn and quartered?

Either way, it's too messy.

And to think my dad teaches that subject. Scum, you need to read some Horrible Histories! They're the best- i swear my brother knows everything he does thanks to those books.

 In my city we have the city walls, and there are gates into the city where they used to hang the heads from. Oh yeah.

What I hate about US currency is there is no coin between 25ยข-$1


Then what is this? :

Yeah, but how often do you see that?  Nobody uses them anymore.


that was my point


Sure, they don't circulate, and that doesn't bother me.  We don't really need it.  It's not that it's too heavy because it is the exact weight as two quarters or five dimes - they all have the exact same composition - but rather it's too big around!  For a vending machine to take them, it would have to have one hella-big slot!

Hanging, drawing & quartering remained the lawful punishment for High Treason until abolished in 1870. It was not used often as it was considered so barbaric. Governments of the day were concerned about public opinion even in those days. Ordinary hanging (until dead) replaced it, although the Monarch could still order beheading and quartering of the body, but the cutting down of the prisoner whilst still alive and the disembowelling and burning of his organs ceased.  It was not until the Forfeiture Act of 1870 that all reference to drawing and quartering was removed from the Statute Book.


So Britain still had capital punishment but not always H.D.Qs

That is so true.  I've had some pretty large bills totally disappear because they (probably) fell out of my pocket when I was getting something else.  A coin is easily heard and a lot more resistant to wind! :idea:

There is NOTHING more uncomfortable than a pocket full of freaking coins.........the unnecessary excess weight of it, the excess bulk of it, the annoying rattle it makes when you walk, it's horrible and THAT should be abolished!
