<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 128649, member: 708&quot;]Change-overs like that often yield interesting things. Same with the switch to decimal (still a bad move i figure), but predecimal coins were still minted into 1970 but the dates had been frozen at 1967 (except shillings which had been frozen at 1966).</p><p><br /></p><p>The new decimal coins due to replace the old coins were being minted from 1967, except the bronze coins all stated 1971 as the year of issue despite the fact they for the most part were minted in 1968-9 and were released those years, the date specified was the date that they would become legal tender.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also read somewhere that the UK proofsets from 1972-75 were mostly minted in 1972. Although i can&#039;t for the life of me remember where i&#039;d read that. Although 1972 was a fairly quiet year as very little circulation coinage was being produced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
