I'm 50 and I don't remember being taught anything other than decimal money. I remember thrupenny bits,sixpences and big pennies because our holiday camp still had slot machines that took them after we were decimalised.

Went out of circulation (just) before my time but I can remember a few farthing coins lying around the house.

Anyone remember which bird featured on it?

Oi, no googling.
