The new £5 Note!

The one I would actually like to see the back of is the 5p coin. Its too small & fidly in its current form.

Our small change (shrapnel ) has hubby calls it goes into a jar to  brue

if they get rid of the 1 pence and 5 pence I bet everything goes up and not down just like they did when they got rid of the 1/2 pence 

I'm not suggesting that they get rid of the 5p piece because as RB says that will give the excuse to up prices.  What I do think is required is a re design.  The current coin is just too small and gives older and often arthritic fingers quite a bit of difficulty.  It needs looking at from an ergonomic viewpoint!

Surely it's a similar size to a tanner ... and I'm sure you managed with them 

We were all younger then.

CY  Exactly my point!

Ruby is right about things going up if we lose the small change, all those fuel prices with .99p on the end for starters! 

Never quite understood how you pay for an item priced at .9p  as in 110.9p per litre.  Should not things be priced at an amount that you can actually pay?

Anyway now gone way off thread!  Sorry.

TF

what would they do if you filled a can with exactly 1litre of fuel , and wait for your change, would they try to over or under charge you ?????

TF, apologies I took this off thread by mentioning pennies going...oh well it''s only money..
