flyer   10 #376 Posted January 23, 2013 we called it a Two-bob or a two-bob-bit, though the older generation would have called it a Florin. Saying that, I call the "new" smaller 5p's a "Tanner", as they are pretty much the same size, and the new 10p pieces I call a "Shilling" as they are, again, pretty similar in size to the old "shilling" pieces. I was way out of my depth when going back for a visit not a clue to what i had in my hand just hold out the change and hope i was dealing with a honest person course that is U.K so good luck with that one:hihi::hihi: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
