Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 11:25 am When decimalisation was being planned for the UK, ( introduced 1971 ), there were plans for an aluminium quarter penny. I read that some patterns were produced but nothing more. Does anyone know where pictures of this pattern can be found? Report this Post to the Staff

It's published by an outfit called Rotographic Publications - they also do a "Collectors' Banknotes".

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Anaximander - it was an older edition I saw it in, probably around 2005/6 - it had pictures of all the 1961 decimal patterns on one page. Perhaps they dropped that page to make more room for the vast numbers of recent new issues!
