Boy some of those figs are going to have bases worth more than they are
;P

Well we long since abolished 1c pieces and they were nowhere near big 
enough anywhere. Best bet these days would be a 20c piece (or 10c at a 
pinch) - 5c is our smallest current denomination and it'd be way too
small!

Well I think its a crime here too, which is amazing seeing how much the 
Aussie dollar ain't worth these days!
