    I just recently rediscovered your videos and im happy i did!Funny enough the large 50p coins were how I visualized the ones you searched for a while until I realized that the size switch was a thing and you were the one who made me realize.

    The old, large, 50p coins have been demonetised. I don’t think that the Bank of England will exchange them. However, it will exchange old notes, even 10/- notes. You do need to explain how you come to have the notes though. Crown coins issued after 1971, either marked 25p, not marked at all, or marked “crown” are still legal tender at 25p, however, earlier crowns before that date, whether marked five shillings, crown or not marked are no longer legal tender.

    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.

      Not even mentioning that you had a reasonable chance to hunt through and find silver. At least in the shillings and florins that were left in the mix of 5 and 10p coins. Well, a chance, considering the degrees of separation from silver. It surely shouldn't have been impossible. People circulate coins to this day here in America that are twice as expensive by silver value as a pre 1948 50% florin...

    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!

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

      @gingerninjawhinger9986 Год 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.
