thanks maybe but money is not in the actual answer. will consider!!!

[Dustybun]

in the good old pre-decimal days copper was the collective word for all those big brown coins we used to have in our purses or pockets. "It's just a few coppers guv!" It was actually money.

You must be a lot younger than me if you cann't recall tramps and winos asking "Can you spare a few coppers for a cup of tea, guv?".
