15th February 1971 ?
The dodecagonal brass British Threepence ceased to be legal tender on 31-Aug-1971.
Prior to decimalisation in 1971, the British Threepence had been in circulation since 1547. The last king to have his image on a Threepence was King George VI in 1952. The last queen to have her image on a Threepence was Queen Elizabeth II in 1967.
In Great Britain, the last Threepence coin produced for circulation was minted in 1967. A proof-only Threepence coin was also produced in 1970. Finally, small numbers (usually about 2,000 to 4,000 each year) of silver Threepence coins are produced annually (as they have been for several hundred years) as part of four-coin Maundy sets. The Threepence was initially to be withdrawn and demonetised on the introduction of decimal currency in 1971, but they remained legal tender until about 1974 or 75.
