Money makes the world go round and pretty pictures.

I have less than a week to go now, in fact, at the time of writing this, this time next week I'll be just about landing in Newark!

packing is almost put together and I have got my currency for my trip.

Just look at all that lovely monopoly money! This is just quick spending money for when i first arrive although some of those bills have already been ear marked to find their way into some stripper's G-strings. *laugh*

I was also rooting around in my pockets and and tidying up the shrapnel of English coins and I found something out (with a little help from the internet.)

Here is a collection of such loose change. 88p to be exact, enough, probably to get a cheap burger from macdonalds BUT, placed face down something really quite patriotic happens...

wow you see that?! Each coin has a separate part of the British royal crest on it and put together forms a kind of jigsaw puzzle!

See?! How cool is that?

yeh, i know what your thinking; "What's this got to do with your trip to America?" Well the answer is, not a great deal but it's pretty cool and I wonder if American coins can be used to make a currency Jigsaw?

Anyway, see y'all in a week!
