British slang for a pound sterling — a diminutive, affectionate riff on 'quid,' which is already the go-to informal word for a pound. A quidlet suggests something small, trivial, or trifling, like you're talking about chump change or a tiny amount of money not worth stressing over. It has a certain playful, almost Victorian charm — the kind of word a market trader or loveable rogue might use while waving away financial concerns.
Don't worry about it — it's only a quidlet, practically rounding error.
