Thruppenny Bit

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

The old Three pence piece in the UK, other wise know as Thruppence or the Thruppenny bit went out of circulation in 1971 when we went decimal

And that’s when my dear old nan gave me one as a keepsake when I was a five year old tot.

Three pence piece

So I guess that’s the oldest physical thing I have but unfortunately it isn’t used daily so I guess I’ve wasted my time with this post. But then again I do use money daily, and this was money so I guess I might be able to sneak this in on a technicality.

Never mind, it’s nice to hold it every now and then and think of my lovely old nan.

Peace all.
