Guest jonutt_I'm_a_Guest Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I bought a 21st birthday card that said that 1984 was the last year sixpences were minted. This seems odd - so long after decimalisation. Please can anyone tell me if this is correct and if not what was the last year sixpences were minted. thank you. Quote
wybrit Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 1967 was the last year sixpences were minted for general use.There were some 750,000 proofs struck later on dated 1970 (though they were not actually made in that year).The sixpence (2½p) was demonetized in 1980, in anticipation of the eventual elimination of the ½p in 1984.
