MM: Penny Farthing π€.....
Today's theme for The Macro Mondays group is currency.
The large One Penny coin is from The Commonwealth of Australia. Coins issued in 1927 were withdrawn at decimalisation in 1966 after 39 years in circulation, but have never been formally demonetised and are still legal tender!
A Farthing was worth quarter of a penny. It ceased to be legal tender on the 31st December 1960.
The Penny Farthing bicycle name came from the British Penny and Farthing coins.The Penny being being much larger than the Farthing.
Thanks for visiting.
Happy Macro Monday......
