1113785 2010-06-27 02:57:00 Bit of a shame the conversion is wrong:-

100 kilogram = 220.46226218 lbs

1113786 2010-06-27 03:06:00 Typical standard of modern journalism, just guess, don't check facts.
I never even noticed myself :o, which shows how easily they can get away

1113787 2010-06-27 03:23:00 $US 378840 is the approximate difference based on current gold figures. Sweep (90)
1113788 2010-06-27 03:38:00 Pffft, merely small change...:D KarameaDave (15222)
1113789 2010-06-27 04:21:00 You'd have to have reinforced pockets to carry that coin down to the local dairy for a 2L bottle of milk.... johcar (6283)
1113790 2010-06-27 04:34:00 Imagine the look on the shopkeepers face though :D KarameaDave (15222)
1113791 2010-06-27 05:14:00 Probably the dairy would not have enough expected change. Sweep (90)
1113792 2010-06-27 05:22:00 You never know, Sweep. I'm certain the profit margins are pretty good... (But being open 7 days, from 7am until late would be a bit of a drag...) johcar (6283)

It appears to have been a simple typo, because in the caption it says 220lb
