Wales - Sickles and galactic credits confuse many
TWO in five people think "sickles" - the money used in the Harry Potter adventures - is a real foreign currency, it was revealed yesterday. And around 25% reckon that "credits" - the currency in Star Wars - is genuine money used overseas, the survey from the Post Office found.


--------------------
Some people think we should privatize money, on the theory that if you and I think are among the 40% and 25%, respetively, who think that sickles and galactic credits (or whatever) are valuable, why shouldn't we be able to use them as a medium of exchange?

But I'm sticking with dollars and cents.
