A British couple came in the other day and had the usual struggle with unfamiliar currency. The gentleman didn't mind our coinage, but the paper bills annoyed him no end.
"They're all the same, aren't they? Same size, same color....it's very confusing. And such small denominations...our smallest bill is a ten pound note. And the bills are different sizes, with braille on them so the blind can tell them apart. Our coins all have different edges too, for the same reason."
I should have asked him what he thought of the the EU currency...
