SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 02/20/2015 09:55 am A little bit of exonumia from my youth. In 1984, it was the 75th anniversary of the first flight in the Commonwealth with the Silver Dart, from Baddeck, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. As a school kid in Cape Breton, we were bussed out to Baddeck, and we watched a replica of the plane with a member of the Royal Family visiting. Commemorative tokens were struck for this, and handed out to the school kids that day. In their haste, the Trade dollar reverse from the Cape Breton McPuffin dollar was used. I have always kept this token with me. I have maintained an active search notification for this token on ebay for 8 years now, and have never seen another one pop up...

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18018 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 06:20 am To kick off 1983, here's the UK's first nickel-brass pound coin: The pound coin was not very popular when it was released in 1983. For two years it was about as common in circulation as small dollar coins are in the USA today. Then Mrs Thatcher announced that the government would stop making pound notes, and everything changed... Incidentally, an early nickname for the pound coin was the "Maggie" - people who disliked Mrs Thatcher said this was because it was thick, rough around the edges and was pretending to be a sovereign!

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18018 Posts	Posted 02/22/2015 02:58 am 1982 was a notable year for British coins, with three major innovations: 1. The word "New" was dropped from the reverses of all coins, as it was now 11 years since decimalisation. 2. The Royal Mint started issuing annual Brilliant Uncirculated sets in addition to Proof Sets, and NIFC coins were issued in both sets. Annual Proof Sets had started in 1970. 3. The seven-sided 20p coin was issued for circulation: My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
