Christmas quiz questions - am stuck - can anyone help pease?

[paddingtonbear1]

We have a week to hand in the answers for our church xmas quiz. There are 100 questions, and we've managed all but 9.

All questions or answers have a connection with currency. We are given the 1st letter of the words.

1. An eye for an eye - P.B.i.h.o.C

1. British Coin without Sovereigns Head - W.C.C

(I thought this might be something to do with Cromwell)

1. Worth 60 talents - M

1. This currency could weigh up to 4 tons - R.S

1. It is silver in France and gold in Germany - M

1. Hopefully named Flying Fortress - T.B.P

1. A good lock - T.o.a.S

1. Herb - P

1. Stake a small horse - A.P

I have googled but I can't come up with these... can anyone help?

Could 9. be A Pony?

Is 8 Parsley - not sure of the connection with currency tho'

1. is Mina

7 is turn on a sixpence

1. could be Mark

(can't you tell I'm supposed to be working)!

60 minas = 1 talent, did they get it wrong?

I though there were 60 mina in a talent?

There's a herb called Pennywort

yes, you're right about the mina, sorry.

could 2 be William Churchill Crown?

Thanks all so far, this is great!
Mary I wouldn't be surprised if they got it wrong - it wouldn't be the first time...
On the back of the sheet it says 'The decision of the adjudicator is final (even if wrong)'!

1. is The Bad Penny

are there any left you cant do?

William Churchill, brilliant!
my searches only came up with some Cromwell coins.

1 and 4 are driving me mad!!!

Wouldn't it be Winston Churchill?

is it just number 1 we are looking for now?

alright, alright, you know who I meant, am trying to work at the same time!!!!Have got a couple of colleagues working on 1 and 4 too

oh yes, that's what we meant ...

1 and 4 we are stuck on.

gosh I am going to get lilo and her colleagues into trouble...

4 is rai stones

wow, thanks
brilliant!!

i think 1 is something to do with quid pro quo perhaps?

nope, no joy via colleagues. Intrigued about 1) was wondering whether it was pay back something??

is 1 something like Pay Back in his own Currency?

is the i. h. o. = in his/her own...
