Henry Ernest Dudeney/Puzzles and Curious Problems/13 - The Three Hospitals

by : $13$

 * The Three Hospitals
 * Colonel Crackham said that a hospital collection brought in the following contributions:
 * A cheque for $\pounds 2, 10 \shillings$,
 * two cheques for $\pounds 1, 5 \shillings$ each,
 * three $\pounds 1$ Treasury notes,
 * three $10 \shillings$ Treasury notes,
 * two crowns,
 * two postal orders for $3 \shillings$ each,
 * two florins,
 * and three shillings.


 * As this money had to be divided amongst three hospitals, just as it stood,
 * since nobody happened to have any change in his pocket,
 * how was it to be done?
