Ok Techno lets get technocoin. My quarter weighs 84.8 grains, the 10pence weighs 101 grains, thats what tiped me off, the quarter was .949 Dia. wheras the then pence was .965Dia. and the quarter was .063 thick and the tenpence was .073 thick. size was easy to miss with these feble old fingers, but the weight it was a dead givaway. ;)

So you knew it wasn't quarter but because it felt heavier you thought you were getting the best of the deal?

Bassy, it's like the man said, "you had to be there to appreciate it." Only trouble is you can only be in one place at a time.... :D <br />It would be even funnier if you edit your subject to something like: Dewey defeats Truman! :D :D :D
