The coins struck in the United Kingdom up to 1967 were known as the old currency or £ - s - d. They included the old pennies struck up to that date. From Monday 15 February 1971 decimalisation took place and the new coins were the 1/2p, 1p and 2p. They were all given 'NEW PENNY' or 'NEW PENCE' as part of the legend as they were at the time the new currency. From 1983, after 12 years of being issued, they were simply called 'ONE PENNY' or 'TWO PENCE'. The 1/2p was withdrawn in 1984.
