Well that’s perfect

They have loads of £1 coin designs, surely one of those could be a squid

£2 coin right there

I think we can do wildlife and iconic British at the same time: City pigeon eating a dropped sandwich on £5.
Herring Gull stealing chips on £10.

Another fave was a student asking to borrow a spoon and my colleague just coming out with “this is a library help desk“ in the archest way possible

Brain zaps are so weird
