some wally wants to pay with a large denomination note.

It takes precisely one item of currency to change a 20 quid note over
and above a tenner, or precisely two over and above a fiver.

If you think

you get if you try and buy a mars bar with a 50 quid note.

But I would be surprised to find gbp20 not accepted. And a Mars bar
costs less than a third of the price of a London cash bus fare.
