......... Whatever happened to the old half-crown?.

Got some of those knocking about, as well as an 1889 Victorian Crown (5 shillings/25p for the youngsters  )

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

it is a good example tbh lizzie, total rebuild & spray. get ya purse out. 

The last time Lizzie opened her purse she had a couple of tanners and a ten bob note in it. 

£.0 s.11 d.0  that is going some   didn't you just hate those sums......

55 new pence. Whatever happened to the old half-crown?.

Used to get one of those a week pocket money.....

You're lucky, Andy. All I received was a threepenny bit and a clip round the ear.

You're lucky, Andy. All I received was a threepenny bit and a clip round the ear.

I have not only still got a few half-crowns, two shillings, shillings, sixpences, silver Joey's, thrupennies, half pennies, and farthings, but I have my most treasured coin, a Victorian third of a farthing (no! I never knew a third of a farthing in circulation, but I remember using all of the others in my time).

I also regularly work in old money to bring myself to ground, to remind myself of the true value of money.

By the way Vamps Opti's two tanners and a ten bob note would be expressed as 11s 0d.          (not £.0 s.11 d.0)  You are just showing how young you are......I know!!

The 11s 0d would now be expressed, if possible without the 1/2p coin, as just 4 1/2p. Now that was one of the tricks of decimalisation (15th February, 1971 which I remember well as we were teaching retail staff teams to convert £.s.d. to £. p.); the 11d priced product suddenly became 5p
which in old money was 1 shilling!.  Instant inflation over night!

Whata mistake to make; typing too fast Entwood!!

Yes I should have stated it "The 11s 0d would now be expressedas just 55p."

Thanks for pointing that out
