"Perhaps we should get new measuring cups?"

"Perhaps, perhaps..." The Hare considered it. "Oh, yes! I like the sound of that. We could close early and go on a shopping expedition."
No one with anything remotely resembling sound business sense would consider closing the doors on a brand-new shop before the passing of a single day had run out. Of course, the Hare had not even sound sense of the regular sort, so really, everything was in order.

((So where do we go now? The Everywhere Else board?))
If this incorrect measuring was to go on, who was to say anything would turn out properly? Today the ginger-snaps were a bit off--tomorrow the bread-knives might be too small or too large. Or heaven forbid, the tea would be affected! "How much money do you have on you, old chap?" asked the Hatter, reaching into his coat for the money he (literally) had on himself.
To his surprise it was neither shillings nor pence, but several kinds of coin.
"Now how'd that get there?" he asked, bringing it to eye level. "Hello there--I'm the Hatter. Would you mind telling us what you're called?"
The coin was silent--it was probably shy or asleep.
((Francs are coins, right? I'm a bit rusty on French currency.))

((According to handy Wikipedia, the answer is yes.
In response to your first question, I'm all for it if you are...though that would mean these two gents are possibly in range for stumbling into the fray of the zombie uprising. A situation which strikes me as hilarious, personally, but then that's just saying.))
"A true gentleman of leisure and refinement knows it a mark of decorum to never carry actual money on his person," the Hare was muttering.
But even as he was speaking he drew from the inner pocket of his coat a large and pathwork-mended coinpurse, shaking it close by one of his ears with a calulating, almost suspicious expression.

"Ah, but I'm a poor man," the Hatter told him, "which certainly means I am neither wealthy nor a gentleman."
After one last sip of his tea, he stood up. "Shall we close shop once you're finished with your tea?"

"Oh, never mind me, old chap," the Hare tutted. "I'll simply take it to go."
He poured the contents of his teacup straight into his right breast pocket, seemingly unperturbed by the wet stain that begin to seep darkly through his waistcoast.
