[edit] Conversion to GBP

I have removed the following text because I not only cant find anything to back it up, but also because I am aware of specific instructions to the contrary:

The Falkland pound has always been equivalent to the Pound sterling.

Reasoning:

1. OANDA specifically quote a FKP/GBP rate which differs over time
2. I work for a UK clearing bank, and we are certainly aware of the procedure - daily exchange rates for FKP are sent to us
3. Point 2 backed up by Thomas Cook Bureau de Change staff

[edit] Silver?

Coins presently in circulation are as follows: 1 penny (copper) | 2 pence (copper) | 5 pence (silver colour) | 10 pence (silver) | 20 pence (silver) | 50 pence (silver) | 1 pound (brass colour) | 2 pounds (silver centre, brass rim) Surely the 10p, 20p, and 50p can't be actually silver? They'd have to be rather small for the content to be worth less than face value! 69.81.24.84 23:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
