Halfcrown (Two Shillings and Sixpence)(cupro-nickel)
Florin (Two Shillings)(cupro-nickel)
Shilling (cupro-nickel)
Sixpence (cupro-nickel)
Threepence (nickel-brass)
Penny (bronze)
Halfpenny (bronze)
Farthing (bronze)

The Shapes Were Different Coins were different
British coins are different from all other coins because they are British coins. The coins of all countries need to be different so that we can tell them apart. What is legal tender in one country, is not legal tender in another country.
Yes, you can still use 5 coins, provided they are valid currency and accepted by the merchant or service. The specific coins you use may depend on their denomination and the total amount you need to pay. However, some transactions may require the use of fewer coins or different forms of payment. Always check with the payment policies of the place you are transacting with.
The first British coins were minted well over 1,000 years ago. The only denomination from that time that is still in use is the penny, but it is a much different coin now than it was then.
