My Mum told me there were 100 pennies in a pound so I thought she meant that you could literally fit 100 pennies into a pound coin, so i sat at the table one day stacking pennies up, when I got to ten I realised that there was no way you could fit them into a pound coin... They must be squashed down to fit.
