The Sixpence was first minted in Britain about 1551. Since then there have been billions of them minted, not only in Britain, but in other countries using the old British Imperial currency system.
The Sixpence is no longer legal tender in any of those countries and the currencies they belonged to are long since redundant or obsolete.
You could only imagine how many Sixpences there might be in coin collections around the world and how many more there might be hidden away in Grandma's cupboard.
