Other than the odd coin found lying around my parents house I've never seen much of the pre decimal stuff. |

I'm 50 and I don't remember being taught anything other than decimal money. I remember thrupenny bits,sixpences and big pennies because our holiday camp still had slot machines that took them after we were decimalised. |

"D day was 15th February 1973
I can still remember rhyme we were taught at school
It was actually 15 Feb 1971
No one has mentioned the 4 farthings to a penny. That makes me feel so old  "
Went out of circulation (just) before my time but I can remember a few farthing coins lying around the house.
Anyone remember which bird featured on it?
Oi, no googling. |
