Thanks William.

I still have a wooden thrift thru'penny bit! All the best, Joe

A wooden one? And what does thrift mean, something a bit naughty?
Take care Joe.

Great Image Maggs nice one.
Have a great weekend.

Glad you like it TOZ.
Have a goodun ...

The odd one looks nice and perfectly suitable now with a spring design :-) However, I would have dreaded the math...my favorite subject in school!! ;-))

It was what it was, and it didn’t seem difficult at the time.
I used to be very good at maths until aged 13 I had to change schools when we moved and they were using a different syllabus for maths; I was ahead in some areas and behind in others. My new maths teacher refused to help … I lost heart and interest … which is a shame as my grandson is quite literally genius at maths, studying it at Uni … and I can’t understand a word :-(( Percy Chick, never forget his name …

Well, you grew up with that system, so I guess you got used to it at a very early age :-) For me it was just confusing. And the time I used to be good in maths was in elementary school ;-))
I also blame my loss of interest on my math teacher in high school...I do remember his name as well, but I don't even want to mention it here!!
What a shame, Maggie, as you would have been talented in maths (as for me, I'm not so sure about that!!), but at least your grandson is going to continue the line of talented math folks in your family :-)

Ooh, nice to see a thru'penny bit again and you found one with your year of birth on as well..............how lucky is that :-))))

Only joking.........honestly! This is a superb close up shot with perfect focus and depth of field. The black background makes the coins stand out beautifully!

Cheeky bugger …

But you redeemed yourself with those kind comments!!!

:-)))

wonderful coins

The old £sd was bonkers but I have a fondness for it - wouldn’t ever want a return to it !!!

A very nice collection of coins.

Thank you Esther

A great close-up of this coin collection, Maggs. Your threepence was quite unlike ours, which was very small, round and silver - and went out of circulation in 1966.

Good design lasts longest George ;-)))

i should have said that our L-S-D went in February 1966 when decimalisation came in here. :-)

Hi Maggs
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, including a couple of oldies!
On a serious note, I believe that the non-round shapes were to help 'blind' people tell the coins apart. But maybe 20 sides on a 20 pence, 50 sides on a 50 pence might have had some merit...
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
Peter

I’ve no idea why that design Peter but what you suggest sounds reasonable.

Fantastic photo.

Cheers Don!

that's beautiful

Happy Tuesday!
