The Changing Face of British Currency: Fifty Years of Decimalisation 💰 On 15 Feb 1971, Britain woke up to a new system of currency. On the 50th anniversary we look back at how decimalisation changed the way we spend. #HereForCulture #DecimalisationDay hants.co/2NqFKKu

the BBC Radio 4 PM Evan Davis piece on #DecimalisationDay reminded me, I remember wondering what the fuss was about. We returned from #Zambia in May 1971 having had our own D-Day in 1968 when we emigrated. 100 ngwee to the kwacha!

I've long been accused of "living in the past" - even the past which pre-dates me! The final mintage of "old coins" from 1970 (according to my gran's notes they were only available as the full set in this final year). #OnThisDay #DecimalisationDay

Hands up, who is old enough to remember #DecimalisationDay? £sd became £p. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

50th anniversary of Decimalisation Day today. On 15 February 1971, my nana Mary Maher got an early morning bus to work in Dublin Castle. She was snapped by an Irish Press photographer as the 'first lady decimal passenger' - she kept the change! #decimalisationday put the animals back on the coins

On the 50th anniversary of #DecimalisationDay we focus on this unique coin, the first legal tender made in #Wedgwood Jasper. Find out more: bit.ly/2N8NzEz #Decimalday
