Currency

One of the hardest things over here to get use to is the currency. I constantly have handfuls of change on me because most of the Great British Pound (£) are coins. It is incredibly annoying to be carrying around that much change and have to dig through it to find the correct amount to give a cashier The Pound is equivalent  to the Dollar and Pents are equivalent to Cents. 

Here is some of the coins I carry around on a daily bases:

2 Pound 

1 Pound

50 Pents

20 Pents

10 Pents

5 Pents

2 Pents

1 Pent

Then you have the actual bill that you can pay with 5, 10, 20, 50 and so forth.

Each piece of currency - coins and bills - has the face of the Queen on it and this will only change once she is no longer Queen, then it will become the next king/queen's faces on the currency. On the other side  of the currency is typically something symbolic, like a lion.
