	British Half Penny coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British decimal Half Penny (½p) or Ha'penny (pronounced HAY-p'nee) coin was first issued on 15 February 1971, the day the British currency was decimalised.
		It was the smallest coin used in the decimal currency coinage by both size and value, and was nicknamed the "tiddler" on account of its size.
		The 1984 half penny was only issued in mint and proof sets by the Royal Mint, and the coin was demonetised and withdrawn from circulation in December 1984.

		A coin is a piece of hard material, traditionally metal and usually in the shape of a disc, which is used as a form of money.
		To distinguish between these two types of coins, as well as from other forms of tokens which have been used as money, monetary scholars have defined there to be three criteria which must be met for an object to be a "true coin".
		Coins are popularly used as a sort of two-sided die; in order to choose between two options with a random possibility, one choice will be labelled "heads" and the other "tails," and a coin will be flipped or "tossed" to see whether the heads or tails side comes up on top.

	The British Monetary System before Decimalization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		I responded by saying, “Don’t forget the British Monetary System before decimalization, which is the classic example of a complex mixed-radix counting system in constant, daily use for hundreds of years.” Naturally, she asked me to explain this monetary system, and when it was decimalized.
		Prior to that a pound was 20 shillings, a shilling twelve pence (pennies) and the smallest division of a penny was a farthing.

		British houses are usually numbered serially starting from one end of a road or street with even numbers on one side and odd numbers on the other side, however it is not uncommon to find them numbered sequentially up one side of the road and down the other.

		Today I set up the box of coins in the market-place, an open-air market of clothes, gadgets, etc. A kindly merchant immediately comes over and explains ALL the rules of the market, where I can be etc. I set up in an empty space near his booth, and try to blend in.
		He doesn't seem at all surprised about the nature of my project, and accepts immediately that I set up the coin box table next to his sheet on the ground with CD's on it, after all, we are really on the periphery-- less official than the already unofficial-seeming flea market vendors.

		By 1999 this note had been extensively copied, and therefore it became the first denomination to be replaced by a second Series E design, featuring a bolder denomination figure at the top left of the obverse side, and a reverse side featuring the composer Sir Edward Elgar and Worcester Cathedral.
		The fifty pound denomination, much beloved of second hand car and antique dealers, did not reappear until 1981 when a Series D design was issued featuring the architect Christopher Wren and the plan of Saint Pauls' Cathedral on the reverse of this large note.
