MM: Penny Farthing 🤔..... by Mark Wilkins

230 35

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 Coins issued in 1927 were withdrawn at decimalisation in 1966 after 39 years in circulation, but have never been formally demonetised and are still legal tender!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......

Macro Monday - the first letter of my name - N - Nickel Coin by Neyol

English Half Crown dated 1963. cupro-nickel.

The half crown was a denomination of British money, equivalent to two shillings and sixpence, or one-eighth of a pound. The half crown was first issued in 1549, in the reign of Edward VI. No half crowns were issued in the reign of Mary, but from the reign of Elizabeth I half crowns were issued in every reign except Edward VIII, until the coins were discontinued in 1967.

The half crown was demonetised (ahead of other pre-decimal coins) on 1 January 1970, the year before the United Kingdom adopted decimal currency on Decimal Day. During the English Interregnum of 1649–1660, a republican half crown was issued, bearing the arms of the Commonwealth of England, despite monarchist associations of the coin's name. When Oliver Cromwell made himself Lord Protector of England, half crowns were issued bearing his semi-royal portrait. The half crown did not display its value on the reverse until 1893.

The half crown, on the left, was a denomination of British money, equivalent to two shillings and sixpence, or one-eighth of a pound. The half crown was first issued in 1549, in the reign of Edward VI. No half crowns were issued in the reign of Mary, but from the reign of Elizabeth I half crowns were issued in every reign except Edward VIII, until the coins were discontinued in 1970.

The British florin, or two-shilling coin, on the right, was issued from 1849 until 1967, with a final issue for collectors dated 1970. Equivalent in value to one-tenth of a pound (24 old pence), it was the last coin circulating immediately prior to decimalisation to be demonetised, in 1993, having for a quarter of a century circulated alongside the ten-pence piece, identical in specifications and value.

This is my contribution to the Macro Mondays Theme of "back in the day". The British florin, or two shilling coin, was issued from 1849 until 1967, with a final issue for collectors dated 1970. It was the last coin circulating immediately prior to decimalisation to be demonetised...HMM

Macro Mondays - Trinket by Phil Lowe

45 26

A reflective moment …

The British Farthing was a British coin worth a quarter of the old penny of the £ s d (pound shilling and pence) denomination. It ceased to be struck after 1956 and was demonetised in 1961. The wren design was first struck in 1936 and stayed on the coin for the remaining 20 years.

Many coins having been demonetised have gone into jewellery design and the farthing here being enamelled has used a bit of artistic licence in colouring the wren with a red breast, maybe thinking it was a robin?

This trinket was one of many, many pieces of costume jewellery given to my mother throughout her life. After her passing her jewellery was passed onto my sisters and nieces. Somehow this piece was left behind and sits in its box as one of the many reminders to my Mum.

(I used a mirror to show the reverse, hence being back to front)

Bangalore in Gloom by Anoop Negi

Bangalore was in bloom when I had passed by Cubbon park one sunny day on 9th November 2016.

The Indian Prime Minister had just announced demonetisation of high value currency notes and the nation was totally unaware of what was in store for the 1.3 billion people. So was this lovely blooming Trumpet tree.

In a week's time all hell had broken loose. The suspect move did not seem to have any ameliorative effect on the economy or on curbing black money and the people were stuck with no cash. Most of the 1.32 billion people in India manage their lives with cash and not cards. Imagine the plight. Economy is still at a standstill and how disastrous the effect will be on the nation is a foregone conclusion.

The Trumpet Tree had lost all its bloom within 3-4 days of taking the photo on 9th November. I got to shoot this only on the 18th when I had the camera with me. I only hope that this is not a portent of the disaster waiting for us.

A 30 drachmae 1963 coin (GRD 30): REVERSE side by ioannis_papachristos

11 3

In ancient Greece 1 drachma ( δραχμὴ ) was equivalent to 6 oboloe ( ὀβολοὶ ). The Athenian “tetrádrachmon” (“four drachmae”) was the most widely used coin in the 5th century BC. The word drachma is derived form the verb “dráttō” (δράττω, to grasp). The same word was used in Hellenistic kingdoms in the Middle East after Alexander the Great’s conquests: So, from the Greek word drachma derive the Arabic currency “dirham” (still in use in Morocco & in United Arab Emirates) and the Armenian “dram.”

This “triantádrachmo” coin was minted in 1963 (during the reign of King Paul I) to commemorate the centennial of the Greek Royal Dynasty, then comprising five Kings. Demonetized.

On the REVERSE side of the coin there is the map of Greece and the coin’s monetary value: 30 ΔΡ., meaning GRD 30, or 30 drachmae (or drachmas or dracmai).

On the coin’s edge there is lettering:

ΙΣΧΥΣ ΜΟΥ Η ΑΓΑΠΗ ΤΟΥ ΛΑΟΥ

( “ The People’s Love, My Strength ” )

In my collection of coins left over from various travels.

The New Zealand fifty-cent coin is a coin of the New Zealand dollar. It was the largest by denomination, diameter and mass to have been introduced on the decimalisation of the currency on 10 July 1967, replacing the pre-decimal crown coin (five shillings).

Large fifty cent coins issued in 1977 circulated for 29 years before they were replaced with a smaller type and demonetised on 31 October 2006.

Whats Inside A 2015 (UK) Penny (1p) + History by CT. Photography (Leeds) UK Tony Gartshore

Whats Inside A 2015 (UK) Penny (1p) what does it look like inside.

Composition-Bronze (1971–1991)

Copper-plated steel (1992-2015)

The coins have a mild steel core and are electroplated with copper - consequently they are magnetic.

2006

The first copper-plated steel 1p coins were struck in 1992. The reason for this change was the increase in the price of metals on the world markets. In 2006 a (UK) 2p was worth 3p due to the rising copper prices. Copper coins made before 1992 are 97 per cent copper, which means that in 2006 each 2p coin contains 6.9 grams of the metal and each penny piece contains 3.45 grams.To get a tonne of copper it would take 145,000 2p coins or 290,000 1p coins, giving a face value of £2,900 (2006) But if the same coins were sold for their metal content they would collect almost £4,500, after the price of copper hit a fresh high of 8,312 US dollars (£4,463) a tonne (2006).Coins made after 1992 are not as valuable, because the Royal Mint introduced new 1p and 2p pieces made from steel with only a thin copper plate.

2015

Every couple of years in the UK the debate around whether to scrap 1p and 2p coins is reignited. The issue resurfaced again , prompted by Poundland’s £55m takeover of 99p Stores in feb 2015 . The news that prices were set to rise – by 1p – led to questions about whether shoppers would be concerned about the extra cost, or elated that they would no longer receive a fistful of coppers in change. I’m in the latter camp. The increasingly worthless coins only add extra weight to your purse or pocket and I think it would be a sensible move to scrap them altogether. It is felt that 1p and 2p coins are part of the UK’s rich history and it would be a great shame to lose them. But with or without a formal move to scrap the coins, they are already being eased out of circulation thanks to the effects of inflation and our increasingly cashless society.

Long gone are the days when you could actually buy something with your pennies. Even "penny sweets" are no longer that, tending to cost 5p each. So instead of carrying coppers around, many people empty their wallets at the end of the day and toss them into jars at home. Others, particularly in the younger generations, place such little value in them that they simply throw them away, according to a survey by insurer Prudential conducted a few years back. This means hundreds of 1p and 2p coins are taken out of circulation every day. And replacing them seems pointless. The Royal Mint doesn’t disclose how much it costs to make each of its coins, but it’s hard to imagine that for 1p and 2p pieces it would be much less than face value.

In any case, we’re now far more likely to pay for even the cheapest goods and services with contactless cards or smart phones than to bother with coins at all, let alone coppers.

There are concerns that by scrapping 1p and 2p coins prices will rise as retailers round their prices up to the nearest 5p.

But in Australia and New Zealand, where 1 and 2 cent pieces were scrapped in the early 1990s, that wasn’t always the case. In fact, many prices actually fell slightly because retailers rounded down to the nearest 5c.Retailers were happy too, particularly smaller businesses, as they no longer had to devote staff time to sorting and banking 1c and 2c coins. The move was so popular that New Zealand went on to scrap their 5c piece and Australia is now considering doing the same.

Another concern is that charities could lose out because people often donate their coppers, particularly when taking change at the till, into strategically placed collection tins. But as inflation continues to alter the spending power of our currency, it is increasingly 5p pieces that people throw in, which I’m sure charities would be happy to accept.

CORONAVIRUS COVID-19: TOUT CE QUE L'ON SAIT SUR LA PANDÉMIE. Péril ou Chance pour l'Humanité? by Ben Heine

4 3

Regardez ici sur Youtube: youtu.be/GZpLz1NKJT0

Bonjour, dans cette vidéo, j'aborde une thématique un peu différente de celles que je développe habituellement sur ma chaîne car on est tous concernés par cette pandémie de Covid-19 qui touche l'humanité. Les mesures de confinement prises par les gouvernements changent nos modes de vies et ont de nombreux impacts socio-économiques. Il s'agit d'une 3ème guerre mondiale. Je partage avec vous tout ce que l'on sait sur cette pandémie et cette maladie.

Un vent de panique souffle sur les populations des pays les plus touchés et l’économie mondiale est en train de s’effondrer. Tout cela est allé très vite, il y a quelques semaines seulement on regardait de loin et sans s’en inquiéter cette petite épidémie en Chine.

Pour faire face à cette pandémie, des centaines de millions de personnes de pays de tous les continents sont mis en confinement pendant des périodes allant de quelques semaines à plusieurs mois. Les écoles, les commerces, les transports en commun et la plupart des lieux publics sont fermés, l’activité socio-économique est tout bonnement mise à l’arrêt.

Toutes ces mesures drastiques et historiques qui compliquent la vie des jeunes visent à sauver la vie des personnes âgées et fragiles. Ces mesures de confinement dignes d’états en guerre devraient montrer leurs effets après plusieurs semaines/mois.

Cette pandémie reflète déjà l’échec de la mondialisation et du capitalisme mais aussi le succès de la société de l'information. Chacun est informé instantanément et chacun a son avis sur la question. Du coup je voulais aussi vous partager le mien dans cette vidéo.

Je pense qu’une non exposition au virus ne permettra pas à l’humanité de développer une immunité collective et ce dernier pourrait donc revenir encore plus dangereux à l’avenir.

Qui suis-je ? Je possède un master en journalisme et des années d’expérience dans la communication, j'ai lu des milliers d'articles sur cette thématique et je voulais vous faire bénéficier des informations que j’ai récoltées et de mes conclusions et prédictions. Cela fait plusieurs mois que je récolte des informations, je me suis décidé à en faire une vidéo.

Je donnerai d’abord quelques informations et rappels théoriques sur le Covid-19, sa définition, son origine, ses symptôme, son taux de mortalité, ses mode de transmissions, les mesures de prévention à prendre pour ne pas l’attraper, les traitements en cours et les espoirs de vaccins. Toutes ces infos vous les avez sans doute déjà entendues aux informations.

Je parlerai aussi du rôle déterminant que jouent les médias dans la propagation de la peur et des mythes autour de cette maladie ainsi que les impacts économiques majeurs et les impacts sur nos modes de vie qu’engendre cette épidémie associée à ce surplus d’informations alarmantes.

J’essayerai de comprendre si nous faisons face à une psychose collective, à un danger réel ou paradoxalement à une chance inouïe pour l’humanité.

En conclusion de cette vidéo, j’exposerai qui sont les grands gagnants et les grands perdants de cette crise mondiale. Enfin, je me risquerai à énoncer quelques prédictions sur l’évolution de cette pandémie, ces répercussions sur le court, moyen et long terme.

Je ne donnerai aucune information sur le nombre de cas dans le monde et le nombre de décès associés à l’instant où je fais cette vidéo, cela ne sert à rien car ces informations sont en constante évolution, jour par jour, heure par heure, minute par minute.

Comme cette vidéo porte sur un sujet sensible, elle risque d'être démonétisée, du coup je compte sur vous pour la partager, la liker et vous abonner à ma page.

Voici les points que j'aborde dans cette vidéo:

1. Mise en contexte

2. Informations sur le Covid-19

3. Modes de transmission et idées reçues

4. Le rôle des médias

5. Les conséquences économiques

6. Les conséquences sur nos modes de vie

7. Les moyens de prévention et les traitements

8. Les gagnants et les perdants de cette pandémie

9. Conclusions et prédictions

Cardiff - St. Mary Street Prior to 1979. And the YouTube Headquarters Shooting. by pepandtim

The Postcard

A Colourmaster International postcard that was published by Photo Precision Limited of St. Ives, Huntingdon.

Note the Stead & Simpson storefront. Stead & Simpson were established in 1834 as a footwear manufacturer with retail outlets. At one time Stead & Simpson had 276 stores in the UK.

The company was bought by ShoeZone, which converted Stead & Simpson stores to the ShoeZone brand.

The car nearest the camera has a registration number with a 'K' suffix. This was issued from the 1st. August 1971 to the 31st. July 1972, therefore the photograph was taken after the 1st. August 1971.

The card was posted in Cardiff on Thursday the 5th. April 1979 to:

Mr. & Mrs. Norman,

2, Bere Road,

Wareham,

Dorset.

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

"Dear Friends,

This is quite different

to other parts of Wales.

It's a very busy place.

We were at the Castle

last night at a reception

by the Lord Mayor. It's

a wonderful place.

Mrs. Watkins is here too.

Love,

Leonard".

Cardiff Castle is in fact visible at the end of St. Mary Street.

The YouTube Headquarters Shooting

So what else happened on the day that Leonard posted the card?

Well, the 5th. April 1979 marked the birth in Urmia, Iran of the YouTube shooter Nasim Najafi Aghdam.

On the 3rd. April 2018 a shooting occurred at the headquarters of the video-sharing website YouTube at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, California.

The shooter was identified as 38-year-old Nasim Najafi Aghdam, who entered through an exterior parking garage, approached an outdoor patio, and opened fire with a Smith & Wesson 9 mm semi-automatic pistol. Aghdam wounded three people, one of them critically, before killing herself.

The Shooting

At 12:46 p.m., San Bruno police received reports of a shooter at the YouTube headquarters. Aghdam's weapon had a capacity of 10 rounds, and she emptied one magazine before reloading.

Helicopter footage later showed a large hole and broken glass in the building's lobby doors. A coroner's report found that Aghdam died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the heart, finding no evidence of drugs or alcohol in her system. The shooting happened two days before Aghdam's 39th. birthday.

Background to the Attack

The perpetrator was identified by police as Nasim Najafi Aghdam, a vegan activist and aspiring fitness personality. She immigrated from Iran to the United States with her family in 1996.

Aghdam was a registered member of the Baháʼí Faith, and described how veganism was aligned with her religion, but was critical of Middle Eastern cultural practices and Muslims and Baháʼís who ate animals.

Aghdam lived with her grandmother in Riverside County, California. She posted content on Facebook, Instagram, Telegram and YouTube in Persian, Azerbaijani, English and Turkish. Her content went viral on Iranian social media, and drew widespread attention.

She had previously protested with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals against the use of pigs in United States Marine Corps training procedures for victims of trauma.

Nasim Aghdam purchased and registered a 9 mm Smith & Wesson semiautomatic pistol from a San Diego gun dealer on the 16th. January 2018.

On the 31st. March 2018, Aghdam's family reported to the police that she was missing. According to her father, she "hated" YouTube, and the family was worried that she might be traveling to the company's offices.

The morning before the shooting, police officers found Aghdam sleeping in her car in a Walmart parking lot in Mountain View, 25 miles (40 km) south of YouTube's headquarters. The officers did not identify her as a threat, and it is unclear whether these police officers were aware of the concerns of Aghdam's father.

Aghdam visited a shooting range the day before the shooting.

Aghdam's Motive for the Attack

Police believe Aghdam was motivated by perceived discrimination by YouTube towards her channels. She complained about the company on her website, writing that:

"Youtube filtered my channels to

keep them from getting views!"

She added that the company had demonetised most of her videos.

Ismail Aghdam, her father, of Riverside County, said that his daughter was a "vegan activist and animal lover" who told him that YouTube had been censoring her videos and stopped paying her for her content. “She was angry,” he said.

According to the San Jose Mercury-News:

"Nasim Aghdam was prolific on social media,

posting videos and photos on Instagram,

Facebook, and YouTube.

Her YouTube channel included strange

workout video clips, graphic animal abuse

videos and vegan cooking tutorials".

Victims of the Shooting

San Francisco General Hospital and Stanford University Medical Center treated the victims. Four injuries were reported:

The victims were a 36-year-old man in critical condition, a 32-year-old woman in fair condition, and a 27-year-old woman in stable condition. Another person injured her ankle while fleeing the building.

Unaliving by Marcel Mac Duchamp and Rroseeen Ní Shélavy in Infrat(h)in

Unalive is a slang term used on social media as a replacement for the verb kill or other death-related terms, often in the context of suicide. Unalive is typically used as a way of circumventing social media platform rules that prohibit, remove, censor, or demonetise content that explicitly mentions killing or suicide.

Three Pence Coin - 'Thrupenny Bit ‘ - Portcullis Reverse - 1967.

Last of its minting.

The design on the Threepence is a “Royally crowned portcullis”.

This was originally a badge of Henry VII, the first of the Tudor monarchs. The portcullis is associated with the Palace of Westminster, and the London Parliament.

The coin was minted in 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and finally in 1967.

By the end of King George V's reign the threepence had become unpopular in England because of its small size, but it remained popular in Scotland. It was consequently decided to introduce a more substantial threepenny coin which would have a more convenient weight/value ratio than the silver coinage.

During the reign of King George VI, this new twelve-sided nickel-brass threepence format took over the bulk of the production of the denomination, being produced in all years between 1937 and 1952 except 1947. The reverse design during his reign showed a thrift plant.

For the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, this final reverse type, featuring a portcullis, was introduced. It was issued until 1970 (with only proof coins in 1970, as decimalisation was already under way at the time). Threepence coins issued in 1967 circulated for only four years until "Decimal Day", 15 February 1971, and ceased to be legal tender after 31 August 1971. Unlike some of the larger denominations, they were not re-denominated to a decimal value when the decimal Pound Sterling was introduced.

Coming after four centuries of silver threepence coins, this was the last and very different threepence design prior to the eventual demonetisation of the value in 1971.

The new coin design originated from the brief reign of Edward VIII, but it was not until the reign of King George VI that it became legal tender and entered everyday circulation.

Strictly speaking the metal of this coin is Nickel-Brass rather than normal brass, being an alloy of 79% copper, 20% zinc & 1% nickel.

The new ‘threepenny bit’ was the first British coin to be made from this gold coloured alloy and was also the first non- circular coin to be introduced into our coinage. Having 12 sides, it was dodecagonal in shape, with a diameter of 21mm across the flats and an eventual weight of 6.8g.

The first threepence coins to appear in British coinage came during the latter part of the reign of Edward VI in (1547 – 1553) as a small circular coin minted in silver, equivalent to a quarter of a shilling and weighing only around 1.5g. The silver threepence continued to be minted (although intermittently) through four centuries until the 1930s.

By this time however, and in London in particular, the small size of the coin had become unpopular, whilst at the same time the equivalent three bronze pennies were too heavy and cumbersome should the existing coin be discontinued without replacement. This was the situation that prompted the creation of the new brass threepence; a coin design originally planned for introduction into the coinage of King Edward VIII.

However, despite the unpopularity of the existing silver threepence, it surprisingly was not discontinued until some years after the introduction of the new brass threepence.

Consequently, between the years of 1937 and 1945 both styles of threepence coin were minted and issued into circulation as legal tender. The 1945 silver threepences were however recalled shortly after release and melted down so that only a few of the original 400,000 survived, thus making it a very scarce coin.

After 1945 only brass threepences continued to be issued into circulation, (although the silver threepence is still minted for issue in the special ceremonial Maundy coin sets to this day).

Edward VIII Reverse

The name “threepence” was pronounced differently across the country, being variously called a ‘thruppence’, ‘throopence’, ‘threppence’ ‘thruppnee bit’, ‘throopnee bit, or ‘threppnee bit.’

Some people also remember the term ‘Joey’ being used. However this name was actually more closely associated with the silver threepence coin and more correctly originated as a nick-name for the Groat, last produced in 1888 and equivalent to four pennies. (The term ‘joey’ was an association to Joseph Hume (1777 - 1855) who was an government authority on finance during the early the 19th century.)

The value of the threepence was indicated as “ 3d ” when appearing in text.

The portcullis engraver was William Maving Gardner 1914 -2000 who was an English coin designer, engraver, calligrapher and writer who worked regularly for the Royal Mint over a 30-year period. He is notable for designing coins such as the British 20 Pence Coin and some of the coins of Cyprus, New Zealand, Jordan, Guyana, Dominican Republic, Sri Lanka and the Falkland Islands.

After having studied calligraphy and letter design at the Hampstead Garden Suburb Institute in his teens, Gardner enrolled at The Royal College of Art, simultaneously studying in his second and third years, at the Central School of Arts and Crafts under George Friend, J. H. Mason, Barry Hart and Martin Travers. In 1939 his studies were finally rewarded with a diploma and The Travelling Scholarship from the Royal College of Art.

Gardner was most well known for his designs for the reverses of the 1953 three penny piece, English and Scottish shillings and the decimal 20p reverse of 1982 still in use today. The artist engraved the coins himself.

He also designed the British Privy Council Seal, the HM Greater and Lesser Signets as well as the seals of the British Medical Association and the Royal Society of Arts.

With the outbreak of World War II, Gardner was soon posted to the Army Camouflage Development and Training Centre at Farnham, where he became involved in the training of 7,000 men of all ranks. Before D-Day he was regularly in the air to advise on camouflaging the build-up of forces. In November 1944 together with a colleague, he set up and ran a new camouflage training school at Scottish Command, Edinburgh.

For the next few years after demobilisation, he spent much of his time as a visiting lecturer in lettering, heraldic design and penmanship at Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, The Central School of Arts and Crafts, London, and Hampstead Garden Suburb Institute - the latter until 1973.

During this period Rolls of Honour commissioned by King George VI for the Household Cavalry were inscribed. A considerable variety of commissions in coin design, heraldry and lettering were completed and in 1955 he became a fellow of the RSA, subsequently serving on the jury of its Industrial Design Bursary scheme.

He also reviewed books over a long period for the RSA Journal. He was an examiner for The City and Guilds of London Institute in craft subjects and the definitive Jersey stamp was designed in 1958 and the Tercentenary stained glass window for the Royal Society in 1960.

In 1963 Gardner was visiting professor and fine art program lecturer at Colorado State University and in the years immediately following he travelled widely to research art and crafts of the United States, Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia and Nepal.

A calligraphic volume for Eton College was completed in 1990.

William Gardner was a Fellow of the Society of Scribes and Illuminators and a Fellow of the Society of Numismatic Artists and Designers.

Also to go with my brief of tiny by Emma Peacock

The British decimal halfpenny (½p) coin was introduced in February 1971, at the time of decimalisation, and was worth one two-hundredth of a pound sterling. It was ignored in banking transactions, which were carried out in units of 1p.

The decimal halfpenny had the same value as 1.2 pre-decimal pence, and was introduced to enable the prices of some low-value items to be more accurately translated to the new decimal currency. The possibility of setting prices including an odd half penny also made it more practical to retain the pre-decimal sixpence in circulation (with a value of 2½ new pence) alongside the new decimal coinage.

The halfpenny coin's obverse featured the profile of Queen Elizabeth II; the reverse featured an image of St Edward's Crown. It was minted in tin (like the 20p and 5p coins). It was the smallest decimal coin in both size and value. The size was in proportion to the 1p and 2p coins. It soon became Britain's least favourite coin.[1] The Treasury had continued to argue that the halfpenny was important in the fight against inflation (preventing prices from being rounded up);[1] however in 1984 the halfpenny was issued by the Royal Mint only in mint and proof sets, and the coin was demonetised and withdrawn from circulation in December 1984.

And I thought it was just a tiny coin

Le sou, (Sordi) by Djame2601

Ancienne pièce de 5 centimes soit un vingtième de franc.

Le sou est une ancienne monnaie française, issue du solidus romain et dont le nom a survécu dans le langage à la décimalisation de 1795 pour désigner la pièce de 5 centimes jusqu'au début du 20e siècle. Il doit à cette longévité d'être encore présent dans de nombreuses expressions relatives à l'argent :

Ma yeswach sordi.

Ch hale 5 sordi bark

etc......

Les Algériens et les Français continuent d'appeler SOU ainsi le vingtième du franc, Ainsi, la pièce de cent sous valait cinq francs ; ceci jusqu'à ce que la dernière pièce de 5 anciens centimes soit démonétisée dans les années 1940.

Rarest UK 50p Coins You Can Get by CT. Photography (Leeds) UK Tony Gartshore

2

I Finally got the new gardens 50p. Iv now got the rarest 50p coins you can find.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

we finally have the answer to the question: What is the rarest coin design in circulation today?

a press release was issued on The Royal Mint website that answered that very question. It revealed that the rarest coin design in current circulation is the 2009 Kew Gardens 50p design. What happened next saw the coin’s popularity exceed any expectations and catapulted this unlikely topic into the limelight.

-----------------------kew gardens 50p---(right)---------------------------

The hunt for the Kew Gardens 50p had begun, which saw many people emptying their pockets, checking the back of the sofa, and even turning their life savings into 50p coins in the hope of finding the Kew Gardens 50p design. Many people took to Social Media, in particular Twitter, to share the results of their search.

The 50p is the most designed denomination in UK circulating coins, with 29 London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic designs and 17 other commemorative designs to find. With only 210,000 ever released into circulation, the Kew Gardens 50p design is not only the rarest of 50p designs, but it has the lowest mintage of any design on any denomination in current circulation. This makes it the rarest coin design you’ll find in your pockets, and a hard one to come by, with only an estimated 1 in 300 people likely to find it. When you compare that to the average 5 million coins per design issued into circulation and the 22.7 million 50 pence pieces with the Royal Arms design in current circulation, you get a feel for how rare this design is on circulating coins.

It is important to note that whilst there were 210,000 Kew Gardens 50 pence pieces released into circulation, there were also 128,364 brilliant uncirculated Kew Gardens 50p coins produced, along with 106,332 UK definitive sets and 34,438 UK proof sets featuring an uncirculated version of the coin. The Kew Gardens design’s rarity in this case lies in its circulating form, as, with limited mintages set on most uncirculated coins, there are many rarer uncirculated coin designs.

The other contender for the ‘rarest coin design in current circulation’ title was the London 2012 Handover to Rio £2 coin. The Royal Mint website shows the mintage figure of this coin as 65,000. The mintage figures on the website only go up to 31st December 2012 and a look at more recent mintage figures has revealed that several hundred thousands more of this design were minted in the following year, making the Kew Gardens 50p the rarest coin in circulation.

--------------------------------1992 EC 50p----(left)-------------------------

Only 109,000 1992 EC 50p were issued into circulation – roughly half of the Kew Gardens 50p.

It was all because the Royal Mint announced that the Kew Gardens 50p coins is the UK’s most scarce circulation coin, with just 210,000 pieces ever been placed into circulation. The result was a media storm and the inevitable overnight ramping of prices.

Half the circulation of the Kew Gardens 50p

But what few people realise is that there is an even rarer UK 50p piece that was issued in half the number of the Kew Gardens coin – just 109,000 coins.

The coin was issued in 1992 to mark the EC Single Market and the UK presidency of the Council of Ministers – perhaps not the most popular of topics, which maybe was the reason so very few were pushed out into circulation. But of course, its lack of popularity at the time, is the very thing that now makes its Britain’s rarest 50p coin.

Sadly, however hard you search, unlike the Kew Gardens 50p, you will not find this one in your change. That’s because it is one of the old-sized 50p coins that were demonetised in 1998.

The coin itself was designed by Mary Milner Dickens and pictures the UK’s place at the head of the Council of Ministers’ conference table. The stars represent each of the nations’ capital cities placed in their relative geographical position.

But it won’t be the coin’s clever design that will guarantee its numismatic interest for years to come. It is its status as the UK’s most rare circulation 50p is what will intrigue collectors and have them searching and saving up in years to come.

Last week a 50p coin that many thousands of people have found in their daily pocket change started to be sold on e-Bay for prices upward of £100.00. Or to put it another way, 200 times its actual value!

For a cup of tea..

None of the so called leaders

Politicians have done anything

For the slum dwellers marginalized

Humanity.. A Vote Bank to be used

During elections profitably.

Mostly Miyas in skull caps

Seeking hope peace tranquility

My parents once lived in the slums

Of Kurla those days I have not forgotten

Their pain their sufferings.. Now the

Only essence of our Family tree.

My parents had no education

No college degree but they had

Hope a bit of luck. perhaps a

Much needed cup of tea..

1887 Victorian Half Crown by Nikonmania

2 1

The half crown was a denomination of British money worth half of a crown, equivalent to two and a half shillings (12.5 pence; one-eighth of a pound). The half crown was first issued in 1549, in the reign of Edward VI. No half crowns were issued in the reign of Mary, but from the reign of Elizabeth I half crowns were issued in every reign except Edward VIII, until the coins were discontinued in 1967. The half crown was demonetised (ahead of other pre-decimal coins) on 1 January 1970, the year before the United Kingdom adopted decimal currency on Decimal Day.

During the English Interregnum of 1649-1660, a republican half crown was issued, bearing the arms of the Commonwealth of England, despite monarchist associations of the coin's name. When Oliver Cromwell made himself Lord Protector of England, half crowns were issued bearing his semi-royal portrait.

The half crown did not display its value on the reverse until 1893.

Nickel Brass Three Pence - George 6th - 1938

Edward VIII

In England, and in London in particular, the small size of the silver threepence was unpopular. Three pennies were heavy and cumbersome, so it was decided to introduce a larger nickel-brass version of the three pence coin.

Trial pieces of various thicknesses were minted with a portrait of Edward VIII and a reverse design of a thrift plant by Frances Madge Kitchener. Some of these were not returned and found their way into circulation. These trial pieces come in three thicknesses: 1.75mm; 2.0mm; 2.5mm.

As some of the thinner patterns could activate existing relatively primitive slot machines instead of a sixpence or shilling, the thickest dimension was eventually decided upon.

The threepence coins from the official sets of Edward VIII coinage that were prepared but not issued, and a few of which survive, have a modified reverse with the same design as that used by George VI.

George VI

In 1937 a new brass threepence was introduced using an alloy of 79% copper, 20% zinc and 1% nickel. It was 12 sided to make it more distinguishable to the touch, and weighed 6.8g. It measures 21mm across between the flat edges.

The 12-sided design and thickness made the coin easy to identify, and it became very popular - the silver threepence being considered too small, a lesson not learnt when it came to introducing the present small fivepence piece.

At first the coins had sharp corners, but during 1941 a more rounded collar was used, as failure of the collars was occuring too frequently. In 1948, and from 1950, sharp edged collars were used again. Both types are known for 1949.

No threepence coins were minted in 1947, and the mintages of 1946 and 1949 are particularly low.

From 1949 the obverse legend was modified to remove the IND IMP - Emperor of India.

Elizabeth II

They were struck each year in the present reign until 1967 (and ones struck later had the latter date). The design shows a portcullis, a badge of Government. A final proof version dated 1970 was issued as part of the last LSD set.

The coins of 1953 issued in the 'plastic sets' differ slightly from those issued later in the year for general circulation, and from the proof set coin. The following year, 1954, the obverse legend was changed and the portrait strengthened.

The 1958 and 1966 coins are known struck in cupronickel. That dated 1961 is known struck on Hong Kong 10c blanks in error.

Nickel-brass three pence coins were demonetised on 31st August 1971.

The reverse design of a thrift plant is by (Frances) Madge Kitchener. 1 August 1889, Kasauli, India - 1974, Croydon, Surrey

She was born in Kasauli, India, daughter of Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick Walter Kitchener KCB (26 May 1858 - 6 March 1912) and Caroline Louisa (Fenton) Kitchener (1856 - 1901), who were married on 27 November 1884 at All Saints, Malab, Bombay, India.

Also the niece of Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener KG, KP, GCB, OM, GCSI, GCMG, GCIE, PC, the famous 'Lord Kitchener of Khartoum Wants You' First World war recruitment posters.

She was a nurse in the French Red Cross, 1914-1920, decorated with the award of Royal Red Cross (R.R.C.).

She was post world war one an artist who ran the 'Little Gallery' 80, The Street having studied at The Slade School of Fine Art as well as in Paris and America.

Designer of the dodecagonal threepence with a thrift plant on the reverse. The Three Pence was originally intended for use in transport, for example as bus fare. The reverse design was modified for minting by Percy Metcalfe after sketches originally submitted in June 1936 by Miss Frances Madge Kitchener. Miss Kitchener's conception for the coin, introduced as a type in this pattern, was for a sideways-appearing trio of thrift, or thistle plant, flowers atop curling tendrils.

The idea for the reverse motif surely had been borrowed from the 1928 Irish Free State coinages which introduced the use of 'native flora and fauna' for reverse designs in place of the traditional royal insignia, and in subsequent commercial versions the coin proved popular, useful and durable.

Two models of this were prepared in 1936 but abandoned as overly ornate, in favour of a less realistic or more deco-styled image of the plant, but showing fuller flowers, which was finally adopted for the brass coinage of George VI later in 1937.

So the coin shown is from the first minting of this version.

Confusing currency coins by Joegoauk Goa

1

Rs.2 and Re.1 coins same size, same shape, same weight but different value.

Confusing and not user-friendly.

Needs to be demonetised soon

Often its confusing to know which one is 1 Rupee coin and which one Rs.2 coin.

Even those who handle it on day to day basis like Bus Conductors etc find it confusing

Govt. should sort this inconvenience caused to common man by standardising of Coins denomination by size, shape and or weight.
