Summary

A simple application that given a number of pennies will calculate the minimum number of Sterling coins needed to make that amount.

- £12.34 = 6 x £2, 1 x 20p, 1 x 10p, 2 x 2p

Examples of valid inputs with their canonical equivalents: 432 (432), 213p (213), £16.23p (1623), £14 (1400), £54.04 (5404), £23.33333 (2333), 001.41p (141).

Examples of invalid inputs: 13x (invalid character), 13p.02 (valid character in the wrong position), £p (missing value).
