40 pounds

This is a reoccurring bit, in which every time a price or amount of money is mentioned, it is always listed as 40 pounds. In the world of WYSI, the only british note that exists is the 40 pound note, and everything is 40 pounds as a rule. If you are confused on whether or not something is 40 pounds, just remember that everything is 40 pounds (net worths, prices, value, ect.) The reason an economy exists in the United Kingdom is that no one seems to be aware of this rule. When picking up a dollar bill off the street, the value of the dollar bill in their mind will be attached to whatever first pops into their head, often something cheap like a pack of gum. The only exception to the 40 pound rule is MatPat in chapter 13 of act 1, in which he attempts to charge Yannytord 3 pounds for his ball cream.“We normally sell this for 40 pounds... But you seem nice so I’ll give it to you for 3. (which is physically impossible by the way)”
