<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 115145, member: 112&quot;]I realize you are referring to the decision made by Edward VII that the practice of being able to order a set from a bank be stopped. And to be honest I have no idea when or if it was changed. But pick a year and do the math.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, on the date of the ceremony in 1990 Elizabeth II was 63. That would mean that 63 men and 63 women would each receive a total of 63 pence. So that&#039;s 126 x 63 = 7938 total pence that could be issued. Divide 7938 total pence by 10 ( the number of pence in a complete set ) and you should have the maximum number of possible sets available - or 793 sets. </p><p><br /></p><p>But yet the acknowledged mintage of the 1990 sets is 1,523 sets for a total of 15,230 pence. That&#039;s more than double what the mintage should be. So if you can&#039;t buy them elsewhere and the only way you can obtain the coins is from the maundy ceremony - where did they all come from ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
