In fact, one pound equal $5 face exactly. I like how they did that.

Almost like they knew these things would be traded by the pound at some point :P

A nickel nickel is 1/100th of a pound.
Its good to know if you ever want to find a percentage of a pound... or divide a pound in any way for whatever reason
"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent." John Kenneth Galbraith 1975
