Re: what is bigger 3mm or 8mm

When I worked on Computers and Data Processing Machines (the electro mechanical precursor) in the early 1960's there were specially adapted counter plates on the mechanical devices and specially developed circuitry and later sub-programs for the computers to cater for the UK currency.
Imagine a mechanical device having to handle 12 pence = 1 shilling, and 20 shillings = 1 Pound sterling). I think IBM were very glad when 1971 came and UK went metric money.
