Wolvie has been having a sort out
and found a load of coins
in a decimal pencil case...remember those in the 70's
now one of them looks like a george iii gaming coin 1701
don't think worth a lot
but anyone know about coins
lots of threepenny bits
and loads of pennies
Any coin collectors?

Wonder if that was a way that they could not be accused and sentenced to death for
counterfeiting!
As the coin was obviously not a genuine guinea

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Re: Any coin collectors?
About the time of decimilisation, my hubby was working in Winson Green prison, replacing some worn out windows. There was a guy there who spent all day walking from one place to another with a wheelbarrow. He came past the workmen one day and said "giz a tanner for a fag mate" - John said "we don't have tanners any more - we've gone decimal now - so he said "well, giz ondful o' them then. Been a family joke for a long while now.
There's no place like home ......
