Overheard

Overheard on the train on the way to work last week (preface: there is talk that the government is going to retire our five cent piece, as it did the one and two cent coins some years ago):

Her: Yeah, they should so get rid of the five cent, it's useless. Hey, know what else? They should make a one hundred cent coin!

Him (rolls eyes): They do.

Her (patronisingly): Nooooooooo...

Him: Yeah. The one dollar coin.

Her, (looking blank but with less certainty): Nooooo--ooo-o

Him (also patronisingly, and slightly triumphant): How many cents are there in a dollar?

Silence for a few beats while she digests this.

Her: Oh.

I tried not to smirk.
