How much does the tooth fairy pay?

I've a couple of years before I need to worry but apparently the tooth fairy is paying £2 a tooth and £5 for a back tooth? Bloody inflation. I wasn't aware, thought it was still a pound. When did this happen? It's like how in the last few years Easter has become more like Christmas. We got an outfit, nothing special, from parents and an egg from grandparents. These kids are getting balloon displays, chocolate, clothes, shoes, toys...

These threads always make me think of the hopeful children who must put their tooth under the pillow and find it there the next morning, with no money.
And what they must end up thinking about themselves.

But then again, we shouldnt be racing to the lowest point of society.

£1. Don't make a financial rod!

£2 a tooth, but that was a while ago (teens now).

£1. My DH is responsible as I tend to forget. He used to polish the £1, but that's a bit much. DH keeps a pot of teeth from each DC, which I think is a bit weird. You can definitely overthink it all - I think DD2 has never really believed.

£10 for the first tooth and then £2 each tooth
