Elizabeth II & do Rec(g?) and looks like 1971on it the other side says
New Penny on it a Crown with Ivy to either side of it and what looks
like a Trellis beneath the crown, under that is a 1

It's a New Penny from the United Kingdom. First minted in 1968 - but
the earliest date you'll see is 1971. The year 1971 was when the
currency in the UK was decimalised, changing the number of pennies in
the pound from 240 to 100. So their were 240 'old' pennies to the
pound, but 100 New Pence.

There were 1,521,666,250 of this date produced - now that's a BIG
number!

The 'new' was dropped in 1985 and now they just say "One Penny"



Nia:wen Thank you

The Ivy and Trellis is actually a Portcullis and chains.

Yee:Kay? As in United Kingdom, jolly ole England etc?

Nia:wen Thank you, wonder where I got that from. I wound up dumping my
sorrted pennies at a local Coinstar machine, they took a paltry 8.9%
, well worth it in my opinoin to avoid rolling the pennies. One jug
neeted about half the purhase price of my Metal Detector ;-)

O:nen ki' wahi' Bye for now

....yes...the etcetera of course being the principality of Wales, the top
o' the emerald isle Northern Ireland, and of course god's own
country.........Scotland! The penny is relevant in all parts of the Yew:
kay..... O:kly Do:kly? :-)

We have coinstar machines in our local supermarket too. I keep putting
my money in but try as I might I just don't see any wheels spinning and
haven't won a bloody thing so far. I think they are a con.

bye:ee
