    You put your legs either side of the wheel to hold it in place. It wasn’t very good at all if I’m being honest. Even at the time, 9 year old me thought it wasn’t great.

    This is just remarkably dumb. Free currency? What does that even mean? You giving out free money? Or do you mean a currency with no value?

    Money has a value, it’s the number on the coin, bill, note, or whatever you call it.
