Today I found the coin on the right in my pocket (a pair of shorts I hadn't worn since last summer) & I was given the coin on the left in change from the Post Office:

If I were Queen Elizabeth, I might a bit upset with the coinmakers for giving me a double chin on this coin's portrait ...

That's right, that's a £5 coin. That's worth about $8.50-9.00 in USD. It's also the biggest coin going since the Easter Islanders stopped carving those crazy stone ones. It has been issued to honor 100 years of Entente Cordiale, the treaty between the UK & France.

Just a warning in case someone in a shop looks at it funny and tries to get the chocolate out.

That was my reaction at first: "What, you get candy at the PO now?"
