And in the UK, it would be illegal. They passed a law decades ago, which states the maximum amount you can pay in different coins. COINS: Coins are legal tender throughout the United Kingdom for the following amount: £5 (Crown) - for any amount £2 - for any amount £1 - for any amount 50p - for any amount not exceeding £10 25p (Crown) - for any amount not exceeding £10 20p - for any amount not exceeding £10 10p - for any amount not exceeding £5 5p - for any amount not exceeding £5 2p - for any amount not exceeding 20p 1p - for any amount not exceeding 20p Source(s): http://www.royalmint.com/corporate/polic… |

Sounds like the plot to Die Hard 3. Loads of trucks moving money on the streets. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk. |

Yes but they could pay in £1 coins at 9.5g / coins and assuming its 100 million as a billion (well they are Americans) its still 950 Tons (metric) of coins so that must be a fair number of trucks |

Makes that 950 000 kg which converts to 2 091 391 lbs (US) and since the max load of a US Semi truck is around 50 000 lbs (US) means 42 trucks which is do able. |

Stick another naught on those figures. An American billion is a short billion, but it's not that short. It's a thousand million, or a milliard as a very tiny number of people rightly call it. |

American, or rather "short scale" billion, which the UK also now seems to use, is 1000 Million, also called a Milliard. A normal, or Long Scale Billion is a Million Million. |
