    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!

    • @davidmarchant
      @davidmarchant 10 месяцев назад

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

    • @gingerninjawhinger9986
      @gingerninjawhinger9986 10 месяцев назад +3

      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.

  • @eddiebeck4757
    @eddiebeck4757 10 месяцев назад +2

    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.
