<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wehwalt, post: 3377877, member: 33595&quot;]In Britain, they don&#039;t use rolls for coins, but rather they bag it in small plastic bags with a certain number of coins. These bags are weighed, until fairly recently on balance scales, with weights like this used to balance. The &quot;Bronze&quot; is probably post-decimalization (1971) because a weight for a pound of pre-decimal coppers would be much larger. The other could be either pre- or post- decimalization because the shilling continued in use as 5p after Decimal Day, and the florin as 10p and so the weight of 5 pounds worth of &quot;silver&quot; (actually cupronickel) did not change. It&#039;s the only one I&#039;ve seen with the bank name on it. I have others that weigh a certain value in banknotes. Now they use digital scales and electronic counters.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]896339[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
