Adding and subtracting coins

Bill and Bernie are playing a game to find out which coins (1p, 2p, 5p, 10p and 20p) roll down a hill. They discover that a 20p coin doesn't roll very well, as it isn't round like the others. They then add up the total amount of money that rolled (1p + 2p +3p + 5p + 10p), showing the answer at each step in the calculation. The difference between the amount which rolled down hill and that which did not is then calculated: 20p -18p = 2p.
