Have more than 5K and customs will interrogate you. Legally any police or customs officer can confiscate anything over 1K anywhere in the UK if they believe its the proceeds of crime.
Whew! That's OK then - only £Cyp 4.89 in the shrapnel pot - plus 60 mils!

As well as 33p Ascension, 4.365 Bahraini dinar, 66.50 Belgian francs, 5p Bermuda, 57p Channel Isles, 21.30 Czech koruna, 40.40 French francs, 1.17 German deutschemarks, 590 Greek drachma, 10.80 Hong Kong dollars, 500 Indian paise, 1700 Italian lire, 10p Malta, 540 Portuguese escudos, 4.45 Saudi riyals, 374 Spanish peseta, 200000 Turkish lira, 2 UAE dirham, £1.49 in obsolete UK coins, plus 5/- and a halfpenny in pre-decimal UK coins.

All of which are probably worth nothing!

But the $Can 4.00 is still legal tender, as is $US 9.92, including a 1962 Franklin half-dollar which has a high silver content and a 1980 Kennedy half-dollar which has no silver content.

The things one does on a cold, damp day.....
