1969-71 British Decimal Day News Articles - Great Britian New Currency - 1971 Decimal Day Newpaper Clippings - British Monetary History

This listing is for the photographed 1969-71 Newspaper Clippings related to the introduction of a new monetary system in Great Britian, known as Decimal Day. One article written by Don Coolican in the Daily mirror in 1969 describes the issuance of new coinage without the staple Brittania figure, replacing it with the profile of Queen Elizabeth II. The other article titled "New English Money" was written in 1971, shortly before the introduction of the new decimalized monetary system in Britian on February 15th. There is no indication of what newspaper or author this article came from. Extremely interesting artifacts from a significant time in British economic history!
