I think my favorite is the 20 pound note. The purple really pops.

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

Green in Canada. Our purple is our 10$ bill

[@cillianennis9921]

Unless you go to Scotland or Northern Ireland. Not sure about Wales but we have different printing banks making them different useful everywhere but England as the bars & stuff are very suspicious of them. Just be were of it.

[@Moussahamadou-ev2fj]

Good evening sir please i want to ask you?

[@RECAMPAIRE]

British currency is easier to understand than before; When I studied English for the first time my old English-book had a special page to explain the Uk currency . The pound was divided in twenty shillings and each shilling in twelve pence. It was very tricky!

[@spammodump]

Must've been an old book as the UK decimalised in 1971.

[@PS-ru2ov]

that was before 1971

[@RECAMPAIRE]

That’s true : I started to learn English at school, exactly in 1971.

[@miketrevarrow9795]

Decimalisation was a big rip off in the 70's and is only for lazy people ( the French for example! 🤣🤣) there was nothing wrong with the old IMPERIAL SYSTEM, it improved your maths, and there was nothing wrong with IMPERIAL measures too. 🇬🇧👍

[@hiimmya1041]

Idek why I searched this up when I was born and raised in England 😭😭😭boredom rlly be getting to me

[@funfor1life]

Hahaha bittersweet feeling but that made me laugh. I'm an English teacher and still watched this video although I didn't learn anything. More a case of keeping myself exposed to the accent I guess. More use in my case than yours albeit rather unnecessary, too.^^

[@mrcogroaddrrashasaad8191]

Great job 👏 I were in this embracing situation when I went shopping in Primark in London especially with those coins. Thanks a lot❤️

[@ahmadmuhialdin.1828]

[@adjeibismark1185]

Thumbs up with the good! I'd like to know the difference Between change and balance. THANK YOU.

[@fredysonoliveira5829]

I was told that the coins form the UK's Royal Coat Arms. How interesting!

[@beabrown5778]

I did not had a good sleep since Harry suggesting that he will be returning to help the King with a temporary role and this hurt me very much. I thought that he is suggesting the role of a Regent. I love the Royal family and have a library of Royal books and treasures. I shook Princess Margaret’s hand on her visit to British Guiana when I was six years old. I still remember that event like it was yesterday. The school children lined the road and she came out her Land Rover and walked passed as we waved our flags and singing. I was sucking my thumb and she stopped and said to me I looks beautiful in my uniform. She invited me to the party in Georgetown but my parent did not allowed me, only my older siblings went. As British Guiana got independence in 1965, there was a mass exodus to Britain, and later to US and lastly Canada. We migrated then too and some of my siblings never returned. The name of British Guyana was changed to the Republic of Guyana in 1970. Now I notice Guyana have dropped the the word republic and trying to advertise for tourism as British Guiana/ Guyana since the Venezuela threat.

Professor Anna, Colombia's currency is the Colombian peso.

[@crazyfastcar1314]

I use the sterling currency. I just thought it would be fun to watch this video.

[@BrockMak]

0:42 You almost no longer have to worry in NZ (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_dollar dollars and cents), since we predominantly use cards. If you want to avoid paying cash for taxis, get Ola, Didi or Uber. For buses (cash is no longer accepted, possibly even after the pandemic is over), trains and most ferries, get an AT Hop Card in Auckland, which works the same as Octopus card, but that card can't pay for snacks and soft drinks. If you HAVE to use cash: Orange for $5, Blue is $10, Green is $20, Purple for $50, and Red for $100. 8:33 Our design is almost the same: Polymer notes with windows. Australia also changed to our design as it's difficult to forge and is more durable. For coins, we stopped using 5c coins, so anything that shows 99c, just round up to the nearest 10c (bronze) when you pay cash.

[@blueqweenbilkhyun6907]

Thank you for the video 😚.I really need to know how the British currency works.🌹🌷🌺⚘And for my country currency is the "Dinar"(DA)ie :Algerian Dinar .

[@fernandomilicich8160]

[@chaliceguard4575]

USD is the currency where I live. Excellent video. I couldn't help but admire your beautiful aqua (crocheted?) top. Where can I find that top?

[@erniepylos8991]

The currency in Argentina is $ (pesos) the cheapest and most devalued kind of money around the world!

[@EnglishLikeANative]

What has caused the devaluation?

[@grazynawilczynosek959]

Zloty is the currency in Poland. :) Great lesson! PS. And because of the inflation we're likely to have a 1000 zlotys note soon. :/

It is Turkish Lira in Turkey.

[@drrd4127]

You forgot an important one Quid, people are going to get extremely confused when someone says "10 quid please". Another word is Bob "Do you have a few Bob?" Or in Ulster (N.Ireland) and Scotland 'Bawbee' "Are you saving up all your bawbees?"

[@francescoantonioamoroso6681]

Hello Anna, you are in England and you have the pound sterling with all its multiple and submultiples of banknotes and coins ranging from 1 penny up to 100£; I, instead who live in Italy have the € which happens to have a monetary subdivision system perfectly parallel to that of your pound. 1 cent; 2 cents; 5 cents; 10 cents; 20 cents; 50 cents;€ 1; € 2 ( all in coins); then in banknotes € 5; € 10; € 20; € 50; € 100. Actually there would also be the € 200 and € 500 card, but for their high value nobody uses them in normal everyday life, and if you have to make very expensive purchases you use either a casher's check or a bank transfer. In truth, in recent times, payment by magnetic card for small and medium-sized expenses is also spreading as the reason is advanced that this type of payment serves to combat both tax evasion and go around with less risk as if the magetic card is lost, whoever finds it or steals it cannot steal any money due to the fact that you need to know the PIN relating to the card. However, not everyone agrees with this practice as individuals feel to much in control of their personal data and fear for their safety. So this type of payment is not mandatory and to encourage it, the government has instituted a cash prize for those who do a number of transactions with the magnetic system within a certain time.

[@fabfaco8271]

Hello Anna, In France the franc no longer exists, we have the euro now. I think you know that. The euro is worth 6.56 francs

In Guatemala we use Quetzal or Quetzales (plural), which is our national bird 🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹

[@childericoalencastro]

Cheap is a relative term. For instance, if you want to buy something for 40 thousand dollars, and you have one billion dollars in you account, the price of the car can be cheap for you; but not for a poor person, with nothing in the bank. rsss

[@andreyandreev5116]

Kuwait was the most confusing to me. Especially because I don't know Arabic. And I'm not used to 4 digit currency. For example a chocolate bar would be 1.230 dinar

May be I am very spoiled person. When I first time listened to lesson I have heard the message: baying sex and drinks in cinema is very expensive. I looked at subtitles and found out : snacks and drinks. Overall I liked lesson very much and please make the lessons for B2 C1 like fire in London

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

🇨🇦 5¢, 10¢, 25¢ ++ =100¢ = 1$. Canada doesn't have a 1$ or 2$ dollar bills (notes in the UK) anymore, which were replaced by coins. Unlike the United States, the 1¢ "penny" doesn't exist anymore. It didn't seem so different when I visited the UK. The colour of the UK "notes" are almost the same colours. The coinage is a little different. For me, cheap = bad quality. Inexpensive is the opposite of expensive, which means it cost a lot of money.

Good thing you aren't trying to explain pre-decimal currency and slang for those coins, let alone all the Cockney slang for the notes.
