Okay BG you found a 20 pence piece which which is 20% or 0.2 of £1.

If your looking how much your holding in terms of cent then:

£1 = $2 so therefore 50 pence = $1

20% of £1 as I stated is 20p British currency
20% of $2 dollars Cents is 40 cents US Currency

So your holding the equivalent to 40 Cent or cents US currency

To answer your question no I have never seen any US coins or even dollars in the UK, most probbably because the £ is expensive for you guys and then you don't wanna come and visit us or maybe because Bilbo is in our country and that is another valid reason. No but seriousley I have'nt ever even seen Euros being used in the UK and they're acceptable in most stores.


Thats one thing i love about the US, for us the $ is really cheap so we spend, spend, spend in your country, and of course the I love the people
