GET YER THRU'PENNY BITS OUT...
I've scanned these sets (by COINCRAFT) together,
facilitating me showing them to you at a slightly larger size. I
remember one Sunday night back around 1976, a Scottish TV
sports commentator (ARTHUR MONTFORD I think) was de-
livering a talk at a local youth club (yes, I was still young enough
- just) and he told the tale of a football player attempting to head
the ball, but on making contact, the ball shot off at an odd angle.
"Ach, ye've got a heid like a thru'penny bit!" shouted someone
from the stands. As Arthur said, the instant you heard this,
a mental picture appeared in your head of someone with
a head shaped like a thru'penny coin. Pure gold.
Anyway, here are examples of every brass threepenny
produced from 1937-1967. 'Though the 3d was issued in
ROYAL MINT Proof Sets 'til 1970 and remained legal
tender 'til August 31st 1971, none were minted for cir-
culation after 1967. Not a lot of people know that.
Now, however, you do.
