Post-decimalisation

There was a post-decimalisation half penny coin in the UK, but this article currently makes no mention of it, concluding when the pre-decimalisation halfpenny coin was demonetised. The post-decimalisation half penny was tiny, smaller than the new penny, and was finally phased out some years later -- I don't know exactly when, because that's what I came to this page to find out! This seems to be an important omission from this otherwise very thorough article. mooncow 21:32, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cut halfpennies

Perhaps something should be said about "cut halfpennies", as mentioned in [1], for example? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
