in a safe, how does this work? You need £1 coins (in a bag of 20) and a bag of 1p's (in a bag of 100). You take £20 to the safe and put it in and take £20, £1 coins out. Then you take a £1 out of the bag and put it in the safe and take a bag of 1p's out. So you put £21 in the safe, £20 in the till, but everything balances?

Just use your brain. You put in a £20 note and took £20 of £1 coins out. The safe balances. You take one of the £1 coins, put it in the safe and take out £1 of pennies. So you still have £20 (19 £1 coins and £1 of pennies). You put £20 in and you took £20 out. Of course it balances.

You didn't put £21 in, only £20. The £1 you just took out of the safe.

But the exchange rate fluctuated while you were doing this, so you still have more or less than when you started.
