 | | Interestingly new 10p and 5p coins were actually introduced into circulation in 1968, three years prior to decimalisation, up until which time they were used as two shillings and one shilling coins. | | | Pound notes were unchanged by decimalisation, although in the late 1970's they were reduced in size, perhaps because the old ones were too beautiful, and then finally phased out and replaced by the one pound coin in the 1990's. | | | Interestingly modern British 'silver' coins are still copper-base and nickel coated, whereas the 'coppers' are actually now steel-base and copper coated, since to make high-copper-content low face value coins would create another opportunity for the scrap converters. |

| | Those who believe that metrication, being simple, is in some way "natural" overlook the sheer unnaturalness of that system. | | | As if decimalisation was not bad enough - and only some tourists actually seemed stumped by the old system -we added the abomination of metrication. | | | A great advantage of the old and "difficult", system was that children learnt it quickly. |

| | We all still remember the rip-off days of decimalisation and the Euro conversion will be another such excuse. | | | So then,in the early 70's, along came decimalisation:- | | | After decimalisation, the new penny (100th of a Pound) was worth 2.4 old pennies (240th of a Pound), so each time something went up in price it was by a minimum of 2.4 old pennies but sounded the same. |

| Â | Decimal Coins of the UK - The Change to Decimal Coinage |
| | The older shillings and florins continued to circulate long after decimalisation until the size of the coins was reduced. | | | In 1968 new shillings and florins were issued as 5 new pence and 10 new pence coins. | | | Theoretically silver coins from 1816 could still have been found in change, but the active withdrawal of silver in the years following the change in 1947, followed by the combination of a dramatic rise in the price of silver with devaluation in 1967 meant that silver coins rapidly vanished from circulation. |

| | A new coin was introduced then - the florin, worth two shillings - which was worth one tenth of a pound. | | | As decimalisation approached, the half-crown was withdrawn as it had no place in the new decimal age. | | | Scottish coinage followed a similar development to that in England, though Scots coinage was often in short supply and of uncertain value compared with the English, Dutch, Flemish or French coin, which were preferred by the majority of Scots. |

| | Decimalisation was closely linked to Britain's attempts to join the then Common Market. | | | But the much-trumpeted simplicities of decimalisation, which swept away the treasured eccentricities of threepenny bits and half crowns, were in marked contrast to the complex rows and near-panic the switch caused among ministers. | | | The pressure to postpone decimalisation had began to build within six months of the passing of the 1967 Act ordering the changeover. |

| | Before the big coin changeover, the Tories, then in opposition, launched a Commons censure motion which "regrets the system of decimalisation of the currency." | | | An 18-month changeover period was allowed for, but the old currency mostly disappeared within a few weeks - although a few shops kept pounds, shillings and pence for years. | | | Despite well-publicised problems, decimalisation turned out to be a piece of cake. |

| Â | How to get an ATM PIN in 15 guesses The Register |
| | The attack works not by going after the PIN number directly but by manipulating the contents of the decimalisation table in order to gain clues (such as which digits are or are not present in the PIN). | | | The attack, documented in a paper published earlier this week, is directed against the decimalisation tables used to translate between a card PIN and the hexadecimal value of a PIN generated when the hardware security module checks the validity of a number. | | | By design, it shouldn't be possible to guess a four-digit pin in less than an average of 5,000 attempts. |
