I quite often pay for my cup morning cup of tea with a twenty. That
cuppa costs less than a bus ticket. What's the problem? Now, if the
bus ticket cost something like 63p, or GBP1.63 then I could understand
that it's a bit annoying cos the driver would need to find several coins
of different denominations. But he doesn't. Bus tickets are an integer
number of pounds. Therefore he needs one denomination. No rooting
around for loads of shrapnel required.
