Try your bank but I suspect you'll need to send them to the Bank of England.

I have a feeling as time goes by, they will be worth more as a collectors item then face value. I think by now most countries time limit for exchange has gone by. You can try your local bank and see or coin dealer to see if you have anything scarce. Here in the U.S., all coins made from 1793 to date are still legal tender.

You can't actually exchange them for legal tender at a bank or anything anymore - your best bet is to sell them either to a local specialist shop if you can find one, or on ebay. I think many old coins from that period are quite common still though - and there for not very valuable.

sure - i'm sufficiently previous to undergo in innovations decimalisation in uk. funds that have been minted in the previous that did tend to stay in flow for an particularly long term. I undergo in innovations previous pennies that have been extraordinarily much black in shade, they have been that previous. i became into continually surprised whilst new funds got here out and that i might desire to be sure the real shade of them. And sure, people have been extra 'related' to previous funds. all of them had names given to them - A farthing A ha'penny (a million/2 pence) - a Bob ( a shilling) A thrupenee bit (3 pence piece) a Florin (2 shillings/2 bob) A a million/2 Crown (2 shillings and 6 pence) A Crown (5 shillings) After that it became into notes ( a 10 bob notice). there became into no 'P' abbreviation for pence (the abbreviation became into 'd') so funds have been by no potential reported as 10p, 20p and so on as in cutting-side cases. There are nonetheless people who communicate with reference to the large decimalisation swindle in 1971. I undergo in innovations that chewing gum have been 1d each and each (a million previous pence) and that i might desire to purchase 12 for a shilling. right here day they have been in basic terms a million/2 new pence each and each, so i might desire to purchase 10 for 5p (equivalent of a shilling). precisely the comparable form of coin became into used for the two transactions, yet all the toddlers lost out.

Take them to a stamp and coin dealer. They are generally worth more than face value.

According to the Bank of England website, if you have enough of them, they will exchange them for current tender.
