Threepence (Australian Coin)
The Australian threepence (pron. "thrippence"), commonly referred to as the "threepenny bit", is a small silver coin used in the Commonwealth of Australia prior to decimalisation. It was minted from 1910 until 1964, excluding 1913, 1929–1933 inclusive, 1937, 1945 and 1946. After decimalisation on 14 February 1966, the coin was equivalent to c, but was rapidly withdrawn from circulation. During World War II, threepence production was supplemented by coinage produced by the United States Mint at the San Francisco and Denver mints. Coins minted at the San Francisco mint from 1942 to 1944 contain a small capital S on the reverse, while coins produced at the Denver mint from 1942 to 1943 have a small capital D on the reverse.

Similar denominations were later used throughout the British Empire and Commonwealth countries, notably in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The sum of three pence was pronounced variously , or , reflecting different pronunciations in the various regions of the United Kingdom. The coin was often referred to in conversation as a , or bit.

British Twenty-five Pence Coin
The British decimal twenty-five pence (25p) coin was a commemorative denomination of sterling coinage issued in four designs between 1972 and 1981. These coins were a post-decimalisation continuation of the traditional crown, with the same value of a quarter of a pound. Uniquely in British decimal coinage, the coins do not have their value stated on them. This is because previous crowns rarely did so. The British regular issue coin closest to the coin's nominal value is the twenty pence coin. The coins were issued for commemorative purposes and were not intended for circulation, although they remain legal tender and are accepted at Post Offices. The coins weigh and have a diameter of 38.61 mm. The coins were minted in Copper-Nickel. There were 4 designs. Twenty-five pence coin issues were discontinued after 1981 due to the prohibitive cost to the Royal Mint of producing such large coins with such small value. From 1990 the "crown" was revived as the commemorative five ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
