[TR] Brit Money Definition

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

Hi Bill;
 
I do hope that Britain never adopts the Euro. We British will get far too  
confused when travelling to Continental Europe without the need for currency 
 conversion.
 
As for the Loonie and Toonie, from my adopted Colonial nation: The Loonie  
is a one Canadian Dollar coin, so named because there is a picture of a Loon 
on  every one. When the two Canadian dollar coin came out, it was a natural 
fit  (well, for Canadians, anyway) to call it a Toonie. Or is it a Twonie? 
I don't  think I know.
 
By the way, there is still a factory in the British town of Doncaster that  
is producing tractors with Whitworth-sized nuts and bolts!
