<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 2271513, member: 12789&quot;]Now all pre-decimal coins are demonetized, but still redeemable.&nbsp; Of course they are usually worth more as a collectable than what you would get by redeeming them.&nbsp; The last coins to be demonetized were the shillings and florins minted up until 1967 - and they were only demonetized because the corresponding denominations in decimal currency were downsized in the early 1990s.&nbsp; The other denominations were demonetized in the very early 1970s, except for the sixpence which circulated as a 2.5 penny coin, and the shilling as a five pence and florin as a ten pence coin.&nbsp; The sixpence was demonetized in 1980, but is still redeemable as are all other 1816-1967 coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
