I'm not looking forward to carrying that lot to the bank, the coins are in one of those mini Heineken kegs which is 3/4 full

# So by your maths I'm assuming that a 2p coin is twice the weight of 1p?
I'm glad royal mint didn't carry on with this formula, otherwise a £50 note would weigh 17.8kg.

# Haha, yes...
2 half pence pieces used to weigh the same as one 1p ect, two 1p's the same as one 2p ect copper coin amounts add up...
Silver coins used to be the same, but not anymore....

# Oh yes, and...
8p in copper coins (any combination) weighs 1oz. Just don't ask how I know this or where I find it useful.

a 10p pieces still weighs the same as 2x5p (though it's probably all in metric now)

And 2p pieces are 1 inch in diameter, handy for getting the distances on a 2miles to the inch road atlas, if you're too tight to have got a satnav that is.
