Why use two 25 cent coins when you can use a 50?

No idea. Almost all the coin trays have 5 buckets but the
fifth
is
most
often used to hold paper clips, rubber bands, or other
small
items.

One explanation is the half dollar was the last of the
coins
to
contain
silver and when the silver prices went up they were hoarded
and
fell
out
of circulation. By the time the composite coins came out
people
had
gotten away from using them.

Chicken or egg, but most vending machines and the pay
phones
didn't
take
them.

The US did have 2 and 3 cent pieces in the 1800's. There
was
the
naive
thought that a coin's bullion value should match its face
value
so
there
was some jockeying around. The nickel won the popularity
contest.

The 20 cent piece didn't last long either. That was a
political
move
by
the silver miners to have the government buy more silver.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Gold_speech

The US has solved that problem. None of the coinage has
real
worth
although you can make sort of a low grade zamak out of
pennies.
Illegally, of course.

Why do you have such complicated terms for your coins? Ours
are
just
called by their value - 20p, 50p, etc.

Pity about the sovereign, crown, half crown, groat, shilling,
sixpence,
quid
etc.

None of those are used anymore apart form "quid" which is
simply
a
synonym
for "pound".

There are still slang terms for your decimal coins and notes.

Which aren't used.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang_...United_Kingdom

The only slang term in use for a denomination is "quid".

Wrong, as always.

Which words do you believe we use commonly?

You didn't say commonly. You said arent used.

As in I hear them less often than once a year.

Then you need to get out more.

No, I just live in a civilised area without silly regional accents.

In scotland ? Yeah, right.

You get strong accents in cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh, and also in
the middle of nowhere like the Highlands, but not in the middle.

Wrong with that last

You only get strong accents where people have low intelligence. Farming communities, and cities full of council estates.

and you're shifting the goalposts, again, with your strong.

I'm not, the silly regional accents and the daft terminology occur in the same sort of places.

Yes. Generally called spark plug wires in this country.
They
may
be
a
thing of the past. My Toyota doesn't have any but I don't
know
how
common that is.

It will, but they're concealed in one tube.

No concealment on the Toyota. It has Coil-on-Plug ignition.

https://troubleshootmyvehicle.com/to...nition-coils-1


Why do they tend to put the coils on the plugs now instead of
having
one
big coil?

The last car I inspected may have had that, I'm not sure, all
I
know
is
there was a bar that clipped over all the plugs, with one
thick
wire
leading to it.

It eliminates the moving parts of the distributor and the high
tension
wires. Even without the old mechanical points, that is still a
couple
of
areas of potential failure. The ECU is capable of delivering a
timed
pulse.

The trouble is when the ECU goes wrong all hell breaks loose.

It doesn't go wrong with the well designed ones.

My current (French - as in ****ty electrics) car failed the
annual
safety
test because it was reporting a failure of the antilock brakes.
Luckily
I
use a garage where the mechanics have common sense. The
computer
reported
a fault, but refused to specify what part was broken, so he just
passed
it
anyway.

Cars get bumped about, we can't build computers that can withstand
that.

Corse we can and do. No one I know has ever had any computer
failure
in
their car.

Everyone I know has.

Don't believe that. No one here has reported having one fail.

Well they all fail here, from every manufacturer.

Bull**** they do.

They do.

Bull**** they do with your stupid ALL.

They do once they're about 10 years old.

BULL****.

****ing engine management light on for no reason etc.

Never happened to mine.

Maybe it's the soggy island syndrome.

Nope, just you without a ****ing clue, as always.

What's wrong with a display that says "failed fuel pump" in English?

Because most don't have a ****ing clue what a fuel
pump is. If you want a proper code that tell you what
has failed you get an OBD2 thing and it tells you that.

They must have a clue as they can pass that information to the OBD2 thing.
So why not just tell the driver? Why should the driver have to go to a
garage to find out what's wrong?

They don't, the OBD2 thing only costs $5

It's like washing machines that say "error F4" - why not "please replace
intake valve"?

Because **** all of the buyers of their washing
machines repair their washing machines.
