'stupid' and 'consistent' do not contradict... “it’s not stupid, it’s consistent.”

’stupid’ and ‘consistent’ do not contradict…

We have 1p, 2p and 5p coins, then we have 10p, 20p and 50p coins, then we have £1 and £2 coins and a £5 note, then we have £10, £20 and £50 notes. Hopefully you'll have seen a pattern there, but if you haven't, it's 1, 2 and 5 to increasing orders of magnitude. The American system on the other hand, 1c, 5c, 10c, 25c, $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, it's almost there, but not quite. It would be if they had a $25 note instead of the $20 note, or 20c coin instead of the 25c coin. That’s a good one Dan, well worthy of all that CSS. ;)
