Please just follow us and share for entry The pre-decimal threepence (3d), usually simply known as a threepence or threepenny bit, was a unit of currency equalling one eightieth of a pound sterling, or three pence sterling. It was used in the United Kingdom, and earlier in Great Britain and England. This type was only issued for King George V. A new reverse featuring a Tudor rose was introduced for King George IV. Threepence coins issued in 1934 circulated for 37 years until "Decimal Day", 15 February 1971, and ceased to be legal tender after 31 August 1971. Unlike some of the larger denominations, they were not re-denominated to a decimal value when the decimal Pound Sterling was introduced. Free Delivery in UK
