Nope doesn't mean a thing but then I'm from across the pond. Funny thing though when I went home for a year while we got a marriage visa sorted out... I was counting my Canadian quarters out...only thinking they were only 10p pieces (they're of a similar dimension). Then kicked myself for being silly! ;)

Thanks for the link swittle
