It's another one of those weeks where sprucing up the app is keeping us occupied.
We wouldn't leave you without a money fact though. The farthing (a quarter of a penny) was in use in the UK until 1956. Its name comes from an old English word "feorthing" meaning "a fourth part".
Way back when, there was actually an English coin shaped like a clover - so any of the four parts could be broken off and used as separate currency. Clever, eh?
