£1 here.

Fifteen years ago it was £1 which appeared to be normal.

They didn't have £2 coins then, of course Grin

£1 was also the specie of choice for tucking alongside a newborn baby (a custom I'd not encountered before... took me aback a bit, but I've gone native enough to feel able to do it myself a year or so ago).

Nearly went up to £10 during the lockdown when I had no cash but was rescued by a neighbour Grin

Same here. DS has 3 wobbly teeth and I've been stashing £ coins in my bedside table the past few weeks
listsandbudgets · 05/12/2020 14:52

Usually £1... except in one infamous occasion when tooth fairy was a little bit too merry and remembered she'd forgotten this particular tooth, found they had no change but happily shoved a tenner under the pillow and drifted off into a lovely sleep only to be awoken at 6am by very delighted 8 year old in defence of tooth fairy it was her birthday!!
