货币的价值是主观的，具体取决于年龄。在1岁时，一个人将实际的总和乘以145,000，使一只年龄的一磅重145,000磅。七岁时（伯蒂（Bertie）的年龄）是24岁，因此五磅似乎是120磅。在二十四岁那年，五磅为五磅； 45岁时，它除以5，因此似乎一磅和一磅似乎是二十便士。 {所有数字由苏格兰政府建议传单提供：处理您的钱。}
(The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.})
