Decimalization
Fifty years since our currency changed from sterling to decimal. At the time it was the biggest nationwide operation created and ironically now we are in an equally big operation, the vaccination programme.
For me, decimalization was massive, being in College I made it my presentation to everybody, giving me an opportunity to get my head round it and a chance to educate all the students and staff. Very well received.
I do have a small coin collection which includes both pre- and post Decimalization coins. For me the half-crown was my favourite, what a piece of treasure.
