I went to a grammar, very nice it was too... but it's nothing like great education policy!

I did too and loathed it totally (working class background in very middle class school and all the snobberies that entailed). I left at fifteen, unqualified.

One of Neal Stephenson's books, I bet it was Quicksilver, had a digression-in-dialog about numismatic concerns, where two people in the 1660's were arguing about how to pay for an item. They not only had to settle on an exchange rate, they had to agree on whether specific coins had their face value or had been trimmed to a lesser value or had been minted during a time when their precious metal content had been lowered.
