Farthings ceased to be legal tender in the United Kingdom on December 31, 1960. The Farthing, which was worth one-quarter of a penny, was gradually phased out due to inflation and the decreasing purchasing power of the coin. The last minting of the farthing was in 1956, and it was demonetized on the last day of 1960.
