PH currencies

[funkyrobot]

I've seen a lot of alternative currency referencing on PH of late.

Earlier in the week, someone said something they pay for only has a difference of a 'Costa coffee' a month. I've just seen someone say their GAP only cost the equivalent of 'a Pizza Express' a year.

As someone who is boring, has mental issues and never frequents these joints, I don't know what these mean in real life. Could someone explain the value of these in real monetary terms?

Also, anyone know of any other currency examples being used on here?

I guess some people work in property. I.e., got a new boat the other day and it cost 10 BTL's. Etc.

'Six figs' is a classic (and I'm sure they aren't referring to the fruit).

A Costa Coffee is about £2.50. Slightly less than "a pint"

A Pizza Express pizza is around £10 but once you factor in having to buy one for the wife, plus drinks and a starter, you're at the £30-40 mark I suspect.

But Pizza Express deal vouchers are easily available complicating how much you would actually spend. I'd go so far as to suggest hardly anyone pays full price there!

Bit like Prezzo?

Haven't been there for ages, but get a voucher from them every week at least.

I think these observations or comparisons originated from the advertising industry.

For pennies a day, we can.....

For the price a xxxxx, we can.....

So since this is PH
