Before decimalisation, the coinage was for more interesting I can remember receiving pennies from the reign of George IV and from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, Gibraltar etc Copper coins from all over the former Empire were readily accepted - larger denominations might sometimes produce a frown from the shop keeper! Occasionally there would be halfpennies from the reigns of George IV or George III While these were originally larger that the modern issues, they had, usually, worn down so much that they would pass as modern halfpennies, just as long as Britannia was still discernible

Wasn't the Royal Ordnance Factory at Radway Green, Cheshire, subcontracted to make a lot of the copper coins in the run up to decimalisation?

One of my favorite videos, great stuff this piece of history I worked at the international department of a bank in the Netherlands from 1969 to 2002 So I learned to deal with the Pound/Shilling/Pence era, which was also taught at school And I remember very vividly the decimalisation In 1970 I went to London for the first time on a short holiday I remember having a 50P coin which put into a 1P arcade machine by error The guy who ran the place was not very cooperative in getting it back to me, but in the end he did Fifty P was a lot of coin for an 18 yoin them days, I also experienced the changeover from our guilder to the horrible Euro in 2002

Rhodesia was the first country to use the Machin portrait, although we kept to £sd until decimal day in 1970 After that we had the Rhodesian Dollar and lost the queen's portrait brWe could still use the 3d (21/2 cent) and 6d (5 cent), brAs 10, 20 and 25 cent coins didn't exist until mid 70s we could use1/-, 2/- and 2/6 instead

Give me the old pre-Dec coins any day All the decimal coins have always reminded me of tokens If you find the more recent coins that have been in the soil or even exposed for a very short period of time they are bursting from the inside from rust and the plating is all falling away In the good old days, we had at least 5 monarchs circulating in our change (I think Paul might remember) and I always saved my school pocket money because the dinner ladies would always save me the Victorian coppers and I've still got some of them Well done again Paul

I’ve changed a bit since 1971 to 🥴 I never saw a crown in circ either Great video on the evolution of our currency Apparently there are some 2016 £1 coins have 2017 around the rim Some vending machines recognise coins according to how magnetic they are? Or did I just make that up 🤷‍♀️😎🍀💜
Comment from : @TenBob

The 2011 5p and 10p, weren't issued into circulation until 2012, instead of January 2011, because vending machine companies needed more time for their machines to be updated As far as I'm aware the 2011's were nickel plated steel Haven't come across a cupro-nickel one Great video Coin Patrol, but was hoping you would have included the 1994 D-Day 50p, as that was put into circulation instead of the standard Britannia definitive, which only was available in sets Love the A-Z alternatives at the end! 😂

Amazing bloody video!!!!!!
Comment from : @richswift6534

Great video, and you're correct about the 97 not coming out until 98
Comment from : @paulp4678

Born in 72, I’ve only ever had the misfortune to have handled decimal currency Paul Once I gained an interest into coins around 20 years ago, I had never even considered pre decimal coinage until I found your channel quite a few years back now I will buy an old penny one day & showcase on my channel, get one step ahead of NEC

Great video
Comment from : @JimmyLicari

Great look at decimal coinage
Comment from : @silvergopher

Very well put together, another great video Thanks i was born in the mid sixties and just remember spending the pre decimal coins, but what i do remember was the expectation of maybe getting a very old coin ie an old shilling, sixpence or two bob in your change that was still legal tender These days other than commeratives and mules , theres no old coins to to look for Just as a side question, what is the oldest legal tender coin you could get in your change today
Comment from : @darrenplassard7779

Great video, really enjoyed watching
Comment from : @MilledSteel

Nice video Coin Patrol, The pound quote is from Issac Newton, because he was the master of the mint for sometime Also not correcting you on the 10ps😂😂
Comment from : @AAronFoxxs

What a fabulous video Paul , I really enjoyed that 😁 Well presented and as usual really interesting and informative Amazing that you still have a sealed pack of half pences I agree about the small 5ps they are so fiddly Any I get in change goes straight into the savings pot 😆 Y for Beefeater 😉😆 , one of my favourite alphabet 10ps
Comment from : @judes1934

Very enjoyable Paul brThey could have just made the beer cheaper than introducing a new coin brGreat stuff 👍🏻
Comment from : @smiffy7890

A great showcase of the circulating coins! And some of your classic humour at the end with the alphabet 10p letters 🤣
