We do indeed. Quid is the first major Note. We also have fivers and
tenners etc as you do. Mind you our original Major note was a 'Ten Bob
Note", this meant ten shillings or half a quid."
Other slang sayings are
Bob="Shilling or Five new pence"
Tanner = Sixpence or 2.5 New Pence.
Monkey = £500 (Quid)
Poney = £25 (Quid)
Squid = (Quid)
Plum = £100
Score = £20
Sovs = Short For Sovereigns loosely translated to Pound ( monetory value not
the same, was very old coin )
Shrapnel = ( Loose Change )

Don't mean to but in, but in England (I didn't catch where the original
poster was from) they use the word quid the same way we use bucks for
dollars. It's just slang for a pound. The shilling and crown are old english
money before they went to decimal money (with cents [pence]). I *think* a
shilling is something like 1/12th of a pound or something like that.

You should go to the VS2005 site and check out the "Express" products.
They are designed for hobbyist programmers and I think will be inexpensive.
Plus, VB Express allows you to create class libraries. It might be what
you need.
Off Topic: Being from the US, I don't know anything about your monetary
system. Could you explain what a quid is? and also a shilling, a crown,
etc? I have always wondered but have been too lazy to look it up
somewhere. I am just curious.
