I found this, coin related article, in an old magazine, yesterday.
Thought I'd post it here. Some may find it interesting.
At least I know now, why they call the sixpence a "tanner".

Bob, it's down the bottom of the page, it's called "Best of British".
It contains lost of stories of the old days and old adverts etc.
Reminds me of when I was a kid back in England.

Yes, coins could actually buy stuff once. Now they are only good for change it seems. Cupro-Nickel buys very little and Bronze is only good for making 3rd place medals.
Real coins are made from silver or gold.

Steve, I've got a few 'pommy' friends who would prefer not to be reminded.
