What country uses a Twopence?
Britain has used Twopence on and off for hundreds of years. The current Twopence is a copper plated steel coin which replaced its bronze predecessor in 1992. The Brits also regularly produce a silver Twopence as a part of the Maundy set, a set of silver (1, 2, 3 and 4 pence) coins given to the deserving poor on Maundy Thursday each year.
How do you tell the difference between the British Penny and Twopence?
If you refer to the GEORGE III 1797 "Cartwheel" Penny and Twopence, they are both made from copper and are of almost identical appearance, the Penny is a little over 30 mm in diameter and the Twopence is much larger at about 40 mm in diameter.
Was there a 1767 George III Twopence coin minted?
No. Except for the 1797 "cartwheel" Twopence, British George III Twopence coins were minted in some years from 1763 to 1800. They were a small silver coin similar to the Maundy Twopence. Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced. If you have a 1767 Twopence coin, it is quite probable that you have a privately minted token or a counterfeit.
