<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ericl, post: 1857901, member: 2697&quot;]The problem is that most British coins have been melted down. They changed from&nbsp; the £sd system to the decimal system in 1971, so you cannot get any pre-1967 coins in circulation. They demonetized pre-1887 (i&#039;m not sure about the date) bronze in Victoria&#039;s reign. and while silver coins of George III and later (1815 or so) were technically legal tender until the end, they stopped minting silver coins for circulation during world war 2 and started using copper/nickel.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there were very few commemoratives prior to the 1971 changeover.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
