   2 Apr 2008 ~ 4:20pm tmh88 I like the designs, but the angled edges on the bottom 2 are stupid

   2 Apr 2008 ~ 4:23pm Harudath Looks crap imo, and why do we not rule any more? ¬_¬

   2 Apr 2008 ~ 4:32pm Annes I think they're great. I would, however, be concerned with being able to tell the difference between the 2 and 10 pence pieces while in the pocket.

   2 Apr 2008 ~ 4:37pm Harudath Unless they changed the feel of it too, the 2p is heavier than the 10p- or at least you can feel the difference easily.

   2 Apr 2008 ~ 4:56pm GnomeQueen I like them, but they will make my pounds look old and outdated.
   
   Speaking of, I still have some poundage/ euros in my wallet, I think I can remove them now...

   2 Apr 2008 ~ 4:57pm Harudath Send them to me! I've gotta get rid of this damn motherboard ¬_¬

   3 Apr 2008 ~ 1:48pm CB Why are they bothering with the Penny anymore... It's even more worthless than the US Penny.

   Actually, its worth twice as much by conversion...

    3 Apr 2008 ~ 5:55pm Harudath Thanks to business studies and economic recession, I can inaccurately and shakily tell you why everyone's getting stuff from the US- It's less than half the price over with you guys than it is here. I can't remember what it was, but a PC part for £150 here was $180 over there, which is over $300.

    Sure, but all their prices are more well rounded...

    3 Apr 2008 ~ 6:11pm Harudath Aye, only £39.99 for a sandwich with the crusts cut off.

    3 Apr 2008 ~ 6:17pm GnomeQueen Yea, I really miss having tax already factored into things, so what you see as the price is actually what you pay, on most items.
    
    Don't miss paying double for everything though....

    3 Apr 2008 ~ 6:21pm Harudath But, I must admit, if you go to the right place we DO do pic 'n mix sweets right. Although they are expensive -_-

    3 Apr 2008 ~ 6:49pm DogSoldier I love the design.. very clever.
17. 
    3 Apr 2008 ~ 6:55pm Harudath I was looking at some PC stuff.
    
    America: $180
    England: $360+
    
    For the same product.

    3 Apr 2008 ~ 7:11pm DogSoldier I'm so impressed by this coin design, I believe Icrontic should shell out and buy complete sets for every member. You know? For keepsakes.

    3 Apr 2008 ~ 7:35pm CB Better yet, we could have an Icrontic coin design contest, and the winning design gets minted in chocolate.

    3 Apr 2008 ~ 7:48pm Winfrey mmm... chocolate mints...

    4 Apr 2008 ~ 2:40am TiberiusLazarus Design is definitely clever but i don't really like it. Something about the way the whole is split annoys me. At least I won't have to use them.

    Better start learning English, son.
