A 10p In Change

[scottishmoney]

Today my wife got a 10p in change, dated 1992. Nothing exciting says you, but it was received in change masquerading as a Quarter Dollar here in the USA. Now this represents a 5¢ loss at the current exchange rate, and doesn't rank well with me like the 20p that came in as a 5¢ coin last year.

Might could just have to adopt Sterling as our money, then maybe we might have something to show for our money for a change instead of seeing it all lose value.

You're going to need 'Check Your Change' over there too by the sounds of it! There are lots of 1992 10p varieties you know and a couple are quite scarce.

I have to see if HRH has her necklace, her earrings an' her Tiara?

[Chris Perkins]

No, that was allegedly for the 1997 £2 (but completely untrue). The 10p varieties involve the edge and different pointings. I'd describe them, but I don't have a Check Your Change to hand.

Actually I am going to have to scan this thing at high res to see what the varieties are, I cannot see them well enough front or back to discern the differences.

HM isn't going to be very pleased at being demoted to an HRH

I would like to know the difference. I have been getting into British coins and even the history of Britain in the past few months. I watched a special on the History Channel last weekend about Boudica, it was awesome because I didn't know anything about Britain during that time and had no idea there was such a massive battle against the Romans that far back. It was an awesome program.

Just a caution on watching the History Channel, a lot of the information on there is presented as factual when in fact it is more conjectural - especially when it comes to figures like Boudicca, whom all accounts of are noted by Romans and not her side of the conflict.

On just about any given programme they offer, I can find errors in facts, etc. Remember these programmes are created for mass media by compilers, and not historians so facts are often distorted or just outright incorrect.

I had lots of fun watching it though. How is the information on Wikipedia? I started reading from Queen Elizabeth II all the way down to as far as it will go as far as the predecessor links. My wife thought I was nuts because I sat and read one night for almost 3 hours. I like history which is probably why I like coins.

There are lot of documentaries shown in BBC sometimes I do watched them.

About how they represent for me is fair for even some bitter accounts are shown to the public,but I guess some information are kept for their are other matters will effect the other individual that is still leaving as other history in other countries that are archive records and slowly release in public in thier own choosen time.

Wikipedia is only as good as it's contributors, and I am sure there is a good article on QEII since she draws a lot of interest and people are going to take exception to inaccuracies etc. I have found problems though when reading of the Dutch royal family, just little things.

HM is Her (or His) Majesty and is used only for a king. queen regnant (queen in her own right like Elizabeth II) or queen consort (the wife or widow of a king). HRH is His (Her) Royal Highness.
