An infrequent visitor to the USA is often initially confused by the factBob Mannix said:Since I got it wrong. Mea culpa (or my bad as we are US). 2 bits is indeed
an old colloquial expression for a quarter. I'll get my coat....
that the 5c coin is LARGER than the 10c.
For me, the problem was solved by a hotel receptionist, while checking
in. She said "Remember that it takes two big ones to make a little one."
This piece of excellent advice has stood me in good stead on many
occasions since.
