I remember it well when the weird new money took over. It didn't take us kids very long to get used to it though. I seem to remember prices going up overnight.
I distinctly remember being with my mum, buying her bread for the first time with the new money
She, like most of the customers, was just staring mesmerized at the coins in her change

I think the first thing I bought was a Pomegranate.
We were street urchins and always bought stuff from the green grocers like coconuts, cherries and Pomegranates, I suppose it could have been a chocolate hammer instead.
