New pound coins...

Although the £s didn't change (obviously) each and every line had to be re-written in full - the most tedious thing I've ever had to do. Fortunately a few City boozers had sussed out that there would be massive numbers of people working the weekend and were sensible enough to open up. So some of the afternoon conversions may have been wrong!Friend Or Defoe said:
Did you just have to convert the s&d to p or did the £s change as well?cafcfan said:
Yeah although the last Series D £1 note didn't go out of circulation until 1988.Bournemouth Addick said:Pound coins are 30 years old??? No way can that be true surely...
Monday 15 February 1971 was Decimalisation Day. I spent the weekend (incl Valentine's Day) converting handwritten bank ledgers from £sd to £p. What fun that was!

Pretty sure Riviera makes mathematical errors just in order to argue with someone!

We can revive the old 'he's got a thrupenny bit ead' chant .. substitute new pound coin for thrupenny .. doesn't have quite the same ring to it though ..AND .. I would LOVE a sack full of new £1 coins as samples0

It sounds morbid but with these new coins still a couple of years away, presumably Prince Charles must have decided which name he will use when he is crowned so that the mint can prepare a KC3 (or whatever) version as well as the QE2 one?

I heard that they used distilled bunny rabbit tears in the process of making these.7
