EU and UK

UK joined EU about 37 years in 1973. Is that all benefits or disadvantages? Actually, I think in the earlier period time, there are more advantages to UK; however, now more negitives exist than before.

In the earlier period, EU bring power to UK and UK develop their economy, then she joined Euro. However, UK had economic depression during that time, if she do not adjust her interest rate, it will had worst results to residents. Therefore, she withdrawed from EU.

Despit, that bring negitive, can not keep out that bring no barriers in trade which is very useful import and export, easy process of travel which is conventent to every residents who live in Europea,

1 Pound

It is very interesting that 1 pound have many different decorative in the back of the coin. Before I had arrived in the UK, I konw UK has very different the method to issue currency that is many banks has right to issue money. However, in that time, I don't konw there are very distinguish between bank and bank.

Actually, in my country, currency just issued by the bak which is authorized by the government. And currency also is the same. And I like to collect them, I found there are more than 10 kinds of 1Pound. However, I don't konw which bank issued them.

These are my collections
