Well, isn't that a happy little riddle! If one of the coins is not a 10p coin, then it must be a 1p coin. So, you have a 10p coin and a 1p coin in your hand, making a total of 11p. Just like painting, sometimes it's the small details that make the big picture come together beautifully.
£1 coin + 50p coin + 2x20p coins + 10p coin = £2
A coin like a cylinder has 3 faces and 2 edges.
The ridges on the edges of coins are called "reeds". Many years ago when quarters, dimes, and half dollars had silver in them, people would shave the edges, sell the silver, and still use the shaved coin for the face value of the coin. The mint added reeds so it could easily be determined if the coin was shaved or not.
