Chocolate money

I have noticed in the past few years in the UK, that there is some sort of inflation going on with regards to chocolate money. When I was a child, chocolate money came in one and two pence pieces, now it's all pound coins and more.

Well in the US they've gone one better (of course). Today I noticed for sale chocolate 10 dollar bills.

How much do the chocolate £1 coins cost? If it's less than about 50 times the old cost of a chocolate 1p coin then the sterling to chocolate rate has gone up faster than inflation (in sterling). So there's actually been deflation in chocolate money.

Sorry.

Claire probably lives in the chocolate world.

If chocolate coins are her currency, and real coins are the product she wants to buy, then it sounds like the product has vastly increased in value. Ergo inflation.
