A 50p, 10p and 5p coin from 1969 when the UK went decimal in 1971. :hmmm:

I remember when I was little and we went on holiday. On the flight we got a gift set of coins, commemorating something or other, and I thought I was rich. It had pretty much one of every coin up to £1. I left it on the plane and was heart broken.

You are correct. Bit odd seeing noted above that money was not even available at the time!

Title: Re: Nice piece of memorabilia Post by: flammableBen on Friday, November 19, 2010, 13:40:45 So how does that work? A 50p, 10p and 5p coin from 1969 when the UK went decimal in 1971. :hmmm: To be fair, all three coins were first issued in 68/69 in the run up to decimalisation. Title: Re: Nice piece of memorabilia Post by: Red Frog on Friday, November 19, 2010, 13:42:07 Fair enough. So you'll be forking out the £22 for this rare and timeless piece of history then.
Title: Re: Nice piece of memorabilia Post by: flammableBen on Friday, November 19, 2010, 13:57:12 Shouldn't be too hard to knock up your own. The coins aren't expensive

So you'll be forking out the £22 for this rare and timeless piece of history then. In fact, the 50p piece wasn't introduced until October 1969. Title: Re: Nice piece of memorabilia Post by: Red Frog on Friday, November 19, 2010, 14:04:48 You don't have a job at the moment do you Ben. The employer's loss is always the TEF's gain. ;)
Title: Re: Nice piece of memorabilia Post by: flammableBen on Friday, November 19, 2010, 14:16:13 If anybody really wants one I'll do it for £15.

Surely a piece of history can't be timeless, by definition? (Before anyone asks, I do have a job, but it's not engaging my interest as much as it might currently) Title: Re: Nice piece of memorabilia Post by: flammableBen on Friday, November 19, 2010, 14:37:10 Whilst I don't have a job, I can't keep my interest engaged on this thread as I feel the need to go and spend you're hard earned tax money on my favourite things - beer, bacon, and biggerettes.
