NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18069 Posts	Posted 04/27/2019 3:36 pm This coin was legal tender in the UK from 15 February 1971 until 31 December 1984. It was never very popular and from about 1977 had very little purchasing power owing to high inflation in the 1970s. As nfine says, they are very common and of little value, but still quite a fun find! My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 04/27/2019 11:18 pm I stand corrected on the Canadian part I just saw the queen and automatically thought that that's what it was because like I said I don't know anything about these coins or Canadians but was a neat fine and quite interesting I guess for having no value and a pretty neat little jolt to the adrenaline when you're opening up a roll of coins and see that smaller coin laying there and wondering what you came across. But hey I thank you all for the information I appreciate it.... Report this Post to the Staff
