Happy Birthday sweetpea ! I hope you enjoyed your day
I remember thrupenny bits etc too. The decimal coins seem rather artificial to me.

I remember all the old coins as well, I loved the farthing because of the little wren on it although that went out of use when I was a baby, I have some old coins which were my uncle's collection as well as some I used to collect but no idea where they are. You'll be able to remember the 'groat' won't you sweetpea being of such a great age?
