This feels like a bit of a cheat, as if I am trying to program in Python as if it were some other more familiar language. Should I have coded this differently?
I can't offer anything concrete but here are some things that occur to me at a glance.
0. You can try to use the collections module in 2.6 (especially the namedtuple object which gives you access to things through attributes as well as through order. 1. You have 3 lists (denom, plural and count) which you will iterate through in lockstep as far as I can tell. It's an option to use a list of 3-tuples or a list of dictionaries with three keys (denomination, plural and count).
