Gwyneth, What do you mean about wrapping threepenny pieces in greaseproof paper. My mother just threw them in the puds! I am still living though. Sylvia |

My mother must have collected a few of these coins because come Christmas time we would find one carefully wrapped in greaseproof paper in our portion of homemade Christmas pudding. |

Who remembers those very small silver threepenny pieces? I have two bracelets made up of these little coins. Actually the Dutch also have an old coin, similar in size, and I have an armband made of these. I'm worth my weight in silver I feel when I wear these! Sylvia |
