Carrigna Valued Member United States 413 Posts	Posted 01/22/2025 07:33 am Quite humorous letter from your Santa, CelticKnot! Is it possible for the mint to issue such a penny? I always thought they are mostly automated now. Learn something new today. Report this Post to the Staff

Carrigna Valued Member United States 413 Posts	Posted 01/22/2025 8:38 pm To my Santa, I spoke with my dad and my uncle. Both said that they never saw or used crown as money in their youths. They said 5/- or shillings were a lot of money back then. Uncle said he remember that 3d would buy a packet of crisps (for Americans chips). Both said it also buy a first class stamp! Uncle said he loved getting half crown as one could treat to the film or two and have some money left for sweets! Dad remembers a farthing could buy you two apples or three. Apples are not same as American ones for they are usually smaller. My uncle also said his first pay packet was £3/10/0. I was born after £SD was decimalised. Mum still has a cooking book around time I was born and its price was merely 25p!!! Thank you for the old coins and it helped me to have a good conversation with my Dad and my uncle. Hope you have a good start to your New Year! Kind regards, Carrigna Report this Post to the Staff
