St Landrew Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 (edited) 5p / 50p / 5p /50p The original is, if applied to the orifice I'm thinking of, sixpence - half-a-crown, i.e. 6d - 2s/6d sterling, or 2½p - 12½p in decimal. This was due to the relative size of the coins, not their value. This indormation is to people who were born after decimalisation, and were never made aware of the monetary system that came before it. A bit like football being played before the Premiership came about. Some people don't believe it happened, others...
