At school tommy would often be teased by other children who would offer him a 50p and a £1 coin, he would always take the 50p bcause it was bigger (everyone supposed). One day a visitor kindly suggested that he take the £1, but he refused. Why?
I'm American, so forgive me if this is incredibly stupid, but I don't think there is a £1 coin?

It is 1983 (the first year of the £1 coin), and Tommy thought it wasn't real.pippin_death wrote:

Because if he takes the £1 they will stop teasing him, so his supply of 50p's will dry up. As long as he keeps taking the 50p, people will keep offering him the choice so they can mock him when he makes the 'wrong' selection.
Because the 50p looked like candy?
