I have just noticed that the minimum price for BT payphone calls is now 60p. This has to be inserted as a maximum of 4 coins, i.e. if you want to insert the minimum 60p you can do so in the following ways: 50p + 10p, 3 x 20p, or 2 x 20p + 2 x 10p. You cannot however insert 6 x 10p, or 4 x 10p + 1 x 20p.
Has anyone tried to insert more than 4 coins? What happens if you do? Intriguing!
I have always found payphones interesting. Remember the pay-on-answer phones where you dialled the number then inserted your 10p coin upon hearing rapid pips? They were very difficult to use. These had all disappeared by around 1987.
