Two very nice Olympics. Strange seeing that amount of of old 50p in the bag’s.👌👍

@gingerninjawhinger9986 11 ай бұрын

I miss the old 5p, 10p and 50p coins; you knew you had change in your pocket, unlike the 'shrapnel' we spend today.

@iftheseoldbeastscouldtalk7796 23 күн бұрын

Not even mentioning that you had a reasonable chance to hunt through and find silver. At least in the shillings and florins that were left in the mix of 5 and 10p coins. Well, a chance, considering the degrees of separation from silver. It surely shouldn't have been impossible. People circulate coins to this day here in America that are twice as expensive by silver value as a pre 1948 50% florin...

Nice hunt very unusual that the old bigger 50ps are still out there and no one noticed,Star finds are the 2 Olympics all the best.

I remember a while back, you did a 50p hunt and you surprisingly found a large 50p in one of the bags you opened, I think it was 1983. Now fast forward and to find a handful of them is something special

Somewhere in my house I have the Kew 50p. I put it somewhere for safekeeping, and it's currently in hiding 🙄 Fortunately I live alone and I know I've not spent it, so it will be here! My plan is to hang on to it and sell it when I need the money, hopefully it won't go down in value. I only have it because I saw it when I was working in a shop and thought it looked interesting, so swapped it for some change and when I got home my boyfriend at the time googled it and suggested I hang on to it. Glad I did now!

1969 50p New Pence? When was decimalisation, early 1970's I recall.

@davidmarchant 11 ай бұрын

1971 was when decimalisation went live, but coins were minted in advance from 1969 due to the sheer number that was required.

@gingerninjawhinger9986 11 ай бұрын

The new silver decimal coins went into circulation in 1969 and ran alongside the 1/- (5p) and 2/- (10p) coins and the 10/- note (50p), not only, as @davidmarchant so rightly says, to pre-empt the sheer volume of coins required to replace the pre-decimal coins in 1971, but also to allow businesses and the general public time to get used to the look and feel of the new coins.

I like the old 50p’s (I need one or two for my daddy album) but I have to point out that cos they are bigger and heavier you only got 15 coins in the bag (7 old + 8 new) with a face value of £7.50 not £10 as should be in each bag. Even so they where still a cool find.
