	History of the threepence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The threepence, pronounced thruppence, was a denomination of currency, used by various jurisdictions in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, until decimalisation of the pound sterling and Irish pound.
		While the silver threepence was minted as a currency coin until nearly the middle of the twentieth century, it is clear that the purpose of the coin undoubtedly changed during the reign of king George III (1760-1820).
		Threepences were struck in all years from 1822 to 1830, though the king's head is smaller on the 1822 issue, apparently because the correct punch broke and the one from the 2d was used instead.

	Silver Threepences Story
		This first threepence of Edward VI had a portrait of the young king facing, with a tudor rose to his left, and the value III to the right.
		No threepences were issued during the reigns of Mary or Philip and Mary, but their production restarted under Elizabeth I. By now most but not all coins were being struck with dates.
		Silver threepences continued to be issued until 1944, although from 1942 they were only issued for colonial use, and the last three dates are fairly scarce particularly in higher grades.

	Brass Threepences Story
		There was also a Maundy silver threepence issued in 1937 using the previous design of the original silver threepence, but the new brass threepence was about to replace the silver version within a few years.
		Of these, the threepence is probably the commonest, if that is the correct word, as a number of them were supplied to coin equipment manufacturers, presumably on loan, so that machines could be tested with the new coin.
		Although, as we have said above, the last dated brass threepence to be issued for circulation was 1967, the Royal Mint produced a souvenir proof set of £.s.d coins, all dated 1970, and this obviously contained a brass threepence.
