Redundant technology
Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

1p = 20
I remember as a kid being on a motorbike ride powered by 20p coins.
Or as we quickly discovered 1p coins worked just as well. After an hours riding around the man running the bikes opened one and found all the 1ps we'd used.
We all ran away as he started swearing...

Heh.
The phoneboxes in Hull used to be unable to tell the difference between a 20p coin and a 1992 1p coin. Yay!

In much the same way
Gary Lineker football "coins" used to work pretty well in the Tyne & Wear Metro ticket machines for a brief period in the early 90s (if I recall correctly).
