A piedfort or piedforte (misspelled as piefort for 3 decades in the influential Krause and Mishler Standard Catalog of World Coins), is a coin often exactly twice its normal weight and thickness. The name derives from a French word meaning "heavy weight".[1] They are normally not circulated, and only struck for presentation purposes by mint officials for collectors or VIPs.[1]
Great Britain's Royal Mint is well known for creating many commemorative piedfort coins, especially since the 1980s.[2]

You're No Good
by: Betty EverettFeeling better, now that we're through
Feeling better, cause I'm over you
I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good (I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I broke a heart, that's gentle and true
Yes, I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good (I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm telling you now baby now, that I'm goin my way
Forget about me baby, cause I'm leaving this day
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good (I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
