Phil just take off the end digit makes it easy or move the decimal point so 2.5le = 0.25 pence
1le = 0.10 pence
10le = 1.00

yes you are right enough in saying 500le = 50 english pounds

unless you start working out in the exchange rate then thing can get very confusing when the £ is worth 11.48le just keep it easy this time and work it to 10.00
