A 1967 British Halfpenny looks the same as all British Halfpennies minted from 1953 to 1967. There was no Halfpenny issued in 1961 and the 1967 Halfpenny was the last minted for general circulation.
It is made from bronze, is 25.5 mm in diameter and has a smooth edge. In mint condition if it has been well stored, it may have a gold looking appearance, but probably it will be brown to dark brown in colour.
The obverse has a young Laureate right facing bust of Queen Elizabeth II with the words "ELIZABETH II DEI GRA:BRITT:OMN:REGINA F:D:+" inscribed around the circumference. The inscription is heavily abbreviated Latin for "Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen of all the British territories, Defender of the Faith".
The reverse has an image of Sir Francis Drake's three masted sailing ship "The Golden Hind" with the words "HALF PENNY" around the top and the year at the bottom.

The British 1927 general circulation Sixpence is different from other Sixpences minted before and after 1927.
They are made from 50% silver, weigh 2.876 grams, 19 mm in diameter and have a milled edge.
The obverse has a left facing, bare headed King George V. The inscription around the circumference reads - "GEORGIVS V DEI : GRA : BRITT : OMN : REX" which is heavily abbreviated Latin for "George V, by the Grace of God, King of all the British Territories".
The reverse has a lion standing on a crown, with the words SIXPENCE around the circumference at the bottom and "FID DEF IND IMP" around the circumference at the top. "FID DEF IND IMP" is abbreviated Latin for "Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India".
The year is split either side of the crown.
The obverse was designed by Bertram MacKennal.
The reverse is a modified design from an earlier design by de Saulle.

A 1917 British Shilling is the same design as all British shillings issued from 1911 to 1919.

The obverse has a left facing King George V with beard and moustache with the words - "GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX" which is mostly abbreviated from Latin. The literal definition is - "George V by the Grace of God, King of the British territories".
The reverse has a lion standing on a crown within a circle, and the words - "FID DEF IND IMP" which is abbreviated from Latin. The literal definition is - "Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India".

five dollars. All bills are like that if you have the right light.no light needed to see it, also the whole back is printed smaller than the front.
Sounds like a scam.
All Bank of England bank notes and coins have an image of the reigning monarch on the front - currently Queen Elizabeth II
Probably not, it sounds like a scam.
smash, mince (which is more like cutting)
Wales has the same money as England, based on the British Pound.
There are 225 2d roofing nails in a pound. If you need something longer like 1.75 inches that would be a five penny (5d) and there are only 145 in a pound.
During the later part of the 8th century AD, the Pound was a value without a coin. It was an accounting value based on 240 silver Pennies weighing one pound. Over the ensuing 400 years, the 240 silver Pennies became known as a "pound of sterlings" eventually giving rise to the expression "Pound Sterling" during the late 12th century AD. The Pound Sterling is the oldest currency in the world that is still in use today. Ad Hoc Bank of England One Pound notes, often hand written, were issued from 1694(?) to 1821(?). The Sovereign (One Pound face value) was first issued in 1817. The H.M. Treasury One Pound note was first issued in 1914. The modern Bank of England One Pound note was first issued in 1928. The One Pound coin was first issued for circulation in 1983. There were One Pound gold coins issued during the reign of Elizabeth I, but they were apparently not very popular. Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary also issued Sovereign coins, nothing like the modern Sovereign, but due to currency problems at the time, their face value varied greatly.
The Answer is Yes And NO. But it's an understandable confusion. If you take the word "ethniki" in the Generic meaning to indicate the same thing as "the Bank of England" being the national bank of England, then the answer is NO. We would then would talk about the "Bank of Greece". On the other hand, there is The ETHNIKI TRAPEZA, (and this translates national bank), but its a bank just like any other bank same as HBOS or RBS etc, would be.
No, they wont accept it because they want to have coins to make change for when other people buy stuff with like 50 pound notes - so what will a 5 pound coin come use to them? - Hope this helps.
