Dime


When I checked my change, having purchased a very tasty corned beef and salad sandwich (with a touch of salt and black pepper) from the canteen, I noticed that I had been given a dime rather than a 5 pence piece.


Todays exchange rate is $1.8429 to the Pound.  That means that my dime is actually worth 13.6p.  Which makes me 8.6p up on the deal.


Cool.

Well done JDK.  Obviously, in order to actually realise your gain, you need to find somewhere that will exchange your dime for the appropriate amount.  Bearing in mind the tiny value of the thing, it will probably also be useful if the Bureau de change will do it commission free for you.


Let us know how you get on.

You could try the ol' Claude Litt maneuver:



Claude walks into a Nashville, U.S. bar and asks the bartender, "Excuse me, will you accept this Canadian dollar in this establishment?" The bartender replies, "Sorry sir, we do not accept Canadian money." Claude says "That's unfortunate, because I have a million more of them and I'm very thirsty." To which the bartender says "Perhaps we can make an exception."

Who's to say that the Canadian had more than one dollar?  He could have been a dirty rotten fibber.

This is going to go on a case-by-case basis, I would say about 2'9" from the ground.
