"Well, if you get to visit me, I'll take you to the park, and possibly to a water park, as well... I'll have to use Muggle pounds for that, but you can pay me back the same amount with our kinda money," Wendy said.

"You'd have to help me with Muggle money," Draven replied, thinking of the few times he'd seen it; every time was in Gringotts bank, watching Muggleborn Hogwarts students and their parents exchanging Muggle money for wizarding money.

"It's just weird. All that paper... must be really difficult to keep track of it. If there was a high wind, wouldn't it just blow away?"

"Wait... Accio wallet!" Wendy called. A simple leather wallet flew into her hand, and she opened it to show her companion where one kept the bills- she had a few in her wallet at that time. "See? You keep them here, and keep this wallet in one of the pockets on your clothes or -for girls- a purse," she explained. "It's actually fairly simple... but I grew up with both worlds, so it all seems simple to me, anyway. I'm used to the maths involved."

Ooc: lol, I know nothing about your system but the pounds, which are $1.5 right now, I think...

"It still seems confusing. I know where I am with Galleons and Sickles, but those bits of paper? I'll never get the hang of it."

"Most of them are in tens or fives, making the maths easy... at least the paper ones, anyways," Wendy explained.

Ooc: was I right? I don't know your change system, but your pounds work similarly to dollars, right?

Ooc: Yup; this link should help: [x]

"I'll have to study it carefully," Draven said. "You'll have to show me."

[spirit_queen]

Ooc: found a version that's more cut to the chase than the wiki version... thank you, though!

"Oh, like I said, it's all in tens, so that maths involved are simple," Wendy said. "I could give you an introductory lesson right now," she said.

"Just tell me the basics; I should be able to work it out for myself later."

"Well, the basic unit is the pound, which splits into 100 pence, the plural form of 'penny'. There are quite a few different coins; 1 penny, 2 pence, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, the one pound coin and the two pound coin. The paper bills are as follows; the 1 pound note, the ten pound note, the 20 pound note, and the 50 pound note," she explained.

"Why do they need so many different coins anyway?"
