worth every penny
Not even worth 2p
priceless
not even worth a click on this poll
69p is the sum the monarchy costs each person in the country but doesn't the security bill for protecting the royals around the clock
69p is not even going to but half a pint of beer
so is it worth bothering about

Thanks for that.
How about the first sentence?
69p each as a one off?
69p in the pound?
69p per day?
Do you mean that it doesn't include security costs?
Is it worth bothering about? - Do we have the choice now? If we did, how could we make that choice with a tiny piece of poorly structured information?
some more information

Ok, granted, it's not going to be a whole lot more ..... but certainly enough to buy half a pint!!!

But if you add the amount that is spent by organisations on preparation, panting and decorating for a royal visit, I bet they cost a lot lot more.
When the D of E visited my department at Edinburgh university (many years ago) the whole department spent at last a week in preparation
