On this Day 1969: the new 50p
OTD, October 21st 1969…
Sue Jay reported for ATV Midland News about the 50 pence coin which under decimalisation will replace the 10 shilling note.
Elsewhere Alan Jones spoke to customers and traders in the Bull Ring market in Birmingham to survey the reactions of customers to the newly introduced 50 pence coin. The reactions are mostly negative with people complaining that it causes confusion with existing coins.
