I know there was a cut off point with the Threepence and Sixpence coins here in OZ as the silver content dropped leaving a too high copper, etc content which was considered unsafe. We too had to give back the coins for next year after the useable (safe to boil) ones became scarce. Ah meandering down the cobweb lined memory lane. John B |

Got some here, dunno why ... :scratch: Top left 5/- crown 1953 in a case, all kids had one at the Coronation IIRC. Top centre Victoria Silver crown 1891. Top right a £13.97 token, no idea what that was for or from. Bottom left a 10/- Ripley Co-Op token I dug out of the garden. Bottom centre a $1 Readers Digest token. And a 1862 halfpenny also dug out of the garden pretty much worn to nowt. Several pre-decimalisation Bell Fruit tokens .. :lol: Once had the Vic. crown valued at £55 some years ago, no real interest in them. Dave |

Boy them bell fruit tokens sure did travel, if they are the same as the ones that were used over here :clap: That readers digest one is sweet here what our looked like a number of years ago. Plated plastic. Now when they send them out they are cardboard punch outs! :palm: thanks for posting them |
