Quarter Pounder is greatly improved recently , in the States they claim its' fresh beef or something.

British or Irish beef over here. No mention of the word "fresh" though.

It has the Queen on the other side. I was wondering where I lost it.

It's AK36 note.

I know nothing about banknotes. All that's important about it is that there's a fair chance that it will buy me a pint in the pub at the mid-point of the walk tomorrow.

Fresh Beef since May 2018 around here. We get the weird German and Spanish variants, now and again. We are currently having McRib sandwiches again. Still no lobster roll, like they have back east.

You'll have noticed the lack of a serial number on both front and back. Poor attempt at making cheap money.

Only a pint? I should think that would be a whole schooner and then some.

Five-Six inch, three quarter inch diameter light stainless steel(will be under water) compression spring required.

Where's the best place to look?

Around here, a schooner is usually considered 32 ounces, danged near a liter.

I guess so. I hate to ask about Madeira.

Don't torture me. I might start remembering how a pint of Adnams cost 12p in the college bar (and Rothmans were 27p a packet).

Probably shouldn't mention liquor prices around here. Bars are somewhat less expensive, as are pubs, but we don't have the standard of living you all do, either.
