On Maundy Thursday, the Queen traditionally distributed Maundy money to a number of elderly recipients, which is a symbolic act of service and charity. The amount given by the Queen corresponds to her age; for example, in 2022, she distributed £5,000 in total, with each recipient receiving a coin for every year of her life. This tradition dates back hundreds of years and reflects the Christian practice of washing the feet of the poor. The specific amount and number of recipients can vary each year depending on the Queen's age.

How much are maundy coins worth?

This is a tricky question because in many cases it is hard to determine which coins were general circulation and which coins were specifically Maundy coins. The real distinction comes around the Victorian era where Maundy coins were made to prooflike standards and other than the threepence, no circulation coin has the same design. When it comes to Victorian Maundy coins, condition and presentation are everything, coins in the original box they were sold in are worth quite a bit more than those without them. Similarly, uncleaned, attractively toned and uncirculated examples are valued a lot more than cleaned, spotty and scuffed coins. In general, a full Victorian Maundy set is worth about $200-250 in uncirculated condition, although rarer years are worth a bit more. The biggest change to Maundy money is in 1908 when Edward VII decided to stop selling Maundy coins to the general public, previously it was possible to order them via the bank or the Royal Mint. Since 1908, the Maundy coins have become rarer, since the number of Maundy sets issues corresponds to the age of the monarch, coins issued earlier in the reign of a monarch are more desirable than those issued at the end of the reign. Post-1908 Maundy sets are much more rare but still don't command a high price despite their rarity, only around $300-350 or so depending on the year and condition. There are 2 dates of Maundy coins that are much more common than one would expect, that is the 1937 and 2000 Maundy sets, because they were included with certain proof sets and able to be purchased by the general public.


How much power does the Queen's power of veto give her?

Which Queen? There are a lot of Queens. In the UK no bill can become law without royal assent so I'd say her veto power is pretty serious. However, the Queen rarely uses that veto power.
