Clever accounting by children (1)

This may be an apocryphal story relating back to the childhood of an unnamed top accountant. 

She explains that as a young child she played a game with her parents' friends whenever they came to visit. 

Apparently they found it hugely entertaining that, when offered a choice between a 50p coin and a pound coin she always took the 50p coin. 

One day, her grandfather saw this happening and called her over to explain things: "You must understand, a pound coin is twice as valuable as a 50p piece, so you should always choose the pound coin." 

The future top accountant replied: "But Grandpa, then people will not offer me any money."
