ORIGINAL: aidan If we're establishing ourselves as a Queendom, does that mean we can start minting currency? Because I'm going to London soon, and converting from dollars to pounds sucks. Just divide by two - it'll be close enough. Mind you, the way things are going, it might be worth revising the 3x table for the same purpose. Bear in mind there is 17.5% Value added tax on almost everything here, and that international marketing calls us "treasure island" because they know they can charge higher for most stuff as we're small and isolated. You cant nip over a border that easily, for a cheaper deal. And London is about the most expensive place in England. You can stay half a week in a hotel in central Paris, for the cost of one night in London. A pint of beer would be over USD 5-00 in the UK and closer to 6-00 or even 7-00 in London. E
