Derivation of "Quid"

[edit]

I removed this paragraph:

Quidhampton was the home to a Royal Mint papermill. Some say[who?] this is where the pound sterling derived the slang name "Quid".

  1. No reference
  2. Possible confusion with Quidhampton, Hampshire - ref parish web site
  3. The Pound sterling article gives a different derivation.
