    โœง brass threepence โœง

    The brass threepence, a twelve-sided coin dated between 1937 and 1970, was the first British coin that was not round.

The Royal Mint chose a brass twelve-sided three...

  7. Iโ€™ve never really understood the attraction of โ€˜special editionโ€™ coins that cost you more than the face value of the coinโ€ฆbut there is an irony and something about the timing of this one that almost tempts me!

    bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6p2k1

    There must be other companies that could do the same.

    Now people toss it aside.

    I really like the style of these new coins.

    Compared the current ones, one can see so much more clearly what the value of the coin is.
