I think it goes, two coins total 30p, one of them isn't a 5p, what are the coins.
A: One of them is a 25p piece, the other coin is a 5p piece. Something like that.

With the current exchange rate, you would have two quarters.
The exchange rate between USD and GBP is almost $2 for every £1.
If you have 2 Quarter Dollars, thus 50 cent, after the exchange to british currency, you'd have 25p!

This is called a trick question...
If *one of* the coins is not 5p, then the *OTHER* coin is.
It is also sometimes called a Logic Puzzle, because of the either/or nature of the question and/or answer.

Must be an english thing. What's a pence? like a cent? What denominations do they come in? My sister & brother-in-law aren't here in the US for a translation, they're in Sheffield.
