@SPECIAL LOCATION the school doesn't do cash, I was thinking of friends/ neighbours with that comment. Money as just numbers in an account, I would agree there's nothing quite like cash. It would help teach kids to count as well, but handling cash does come with banking costs for the school...

Also means the customer can claim the vat back.
