PROOF THAT I'M COINING IT IN...

Over the next few days I'm going to be showering you

with money.  My money.  I collect certain coins and notes,

and I'm going to be sharing them with you (visually at least)

over a series of posts.  This one is the 1970 ROYAL MINT

Proof Set and contains a halfpenny, which was never legal

tender as the coin was demonetised on July 31st 1969,

making this one a bit of a collectors' item.

I've scanned these coins in their cases, so apologies

if they're not 100% in focus, but they're clear enough to

let you appreciate their individual aesthetic appeal.

Are you into old coins?  Like me, do you yet regard

pre-decimal coins as real money and today's currency

as base pretenders?  Tell your fellow Criv-ites in our

scintillating comments section, why don'tcha?!
