No. Not that sort. All you drug dealers turn back now.
We are planning a 1940s style evening, including feeding of the masses and decided it would be cool to have authentic prices (so your cod and chips will be 9d and your dancing 1/2 or whatever). Is there anywhere I can get a large amount of predecimal coins very cheaply? Condition isn’t important…
I used to collect coins and I must say I don’t recognize your term “LSD” 
What are you talking about?
LSD-pounds,shillings,pence…Used before 1971 in Britain.
12 pennies in a shilling,20 shillings in a pound.
I’ve got quite a few bobs,sixpences and thrupenny bits lying about but enough to provide for all guests.
(BTW,we always stick thrupenny bits and sixpences in the Christmas pudding)
Gotcha. I only collected murkin coins.
Hope you wash 'em!
Murkin=a wig for the genitals.
Pray tell what sort of coins would they be? :eek:
Hah!
Murkin—>murikin—>Uh-murikin—>American!
I guess, now that I think about it, it’s usually spelled merkin.
What the hell would anyone want a genital wig for?
Depend how cheaply you want to get them, but there’s a fair number of bulk lots of pre-decimal pennies etc on eBay.
L = libra (pound) = £ (a crossed, stylised L)
s = Shilling
d= denarius ~= ‘penny’
(In case anyone was wondering)
I presume that one puts them in the slot and then presses the button?
I always wondered what the hell the pound symbol was supposed to be.
The worlds shortest begging letter:
LSD. PDQ. SVP.
there are coin dealers in Camden Passage market (NOT Camden town Market - the one in Islington) that sell LSD for bobbins. The notes cost a bit more, but the coins are dirt cheap.
Big white fivers can get proper spendy, you can get ten bob notes for a couple of knicker and tanners for pennies.
Hope that helps.
Do these coins have any monetary (ie. non-numismatic) value?
Could you translate that into, uh, English? 
It’s in English.
But to make things a bit more transparent:
A big white Godiva will cost any where from a ton to a monkey (really good ones could cost an archer)
A knicker will cost about an ayrton
A sovereign will cost about two hundred sovs (depending on year and size)
A ten bob note wil be about a jacks
A half crown will be a couple of quid
A tanner will be about ten bob
Pennies will cost shrapnel.
Does that help?
Oh I get it, Bob has tan pennies in his knickers.
These are not the ones you want to put in your pudding.
blink
This is obviously some new usage of the word ‘transparent’ that I previously wasn’t aware of.
Google, don’t fail me now…
No. Except that it might me the case that the Bank of England is still obliged to exchange them.
And they say that Americans, such as I, speak English. If I do, what language do the English speak…
Damn, that what I get for opening the thread and having to leave for a while and not refreshing when I get back…
I believe s = solidus.
