[livejournal.com profile] nashidesei, is there any particular reason why I found eight thirteen cents in Starscream's box? One dime and three one cent pieces, one of which is Canadian.


Eight Cents
One cent pieces are a bit of a novelty these days! We Aussies haven't had one cent pieces in circulation for years now (or two cent pieces either). It's probably only worth 6.5 [as Nashi has informed me on the value of dimes, it's more like 11.5] Aussie cents.




Huuudge
I am very tempted to make his household name "Da Huuuuuudge" - not because of any particularly yellow gelatinousness, but because he's HUGE! ...And I like making HstarR jokes.




Sentinel
Tiny fire engine!

Also dimes are ten cent pieces, not five. Fives are nickels. ;)

Oh damn. My memory for coinage terms is shot! Oh well, it's 13 cents then? The dime is the same size as an Aussie 5 cent piece, that's probably why I made that mistake.

I had a vague idea it might have been something about making the package rattle - the way Hasbro ties up toys in their boxes means they don't rattle on their own.
