Silver threepenny bits were issued between 1834 and 1944.
Although we sell many individual silver 3d coins to coin
collectors, we also get frequent requests for examples to put
into
christmas puddings.
"Silver thruppnies" in Xmas Puds ! Now there's a custom
going
back
who knows how long. Most people over a certain age will remember
when
the practice was quite standard, even for many years after
silver
threepences were replaced by the brass coins. Many families used
to
keep a little store of them, but over the years these stocks
have often
dwindled.
We can supply silver three pence coins ! These are usually
in
decent circulated condition, though not up to the standards
usually
sought by numismatists.
They are quite cheap, and we sell them mail order in small
batches. See the options for online ordering below. Of course
they can
also be bought over-the-counter in our shop (where from time to
time we
have some odd cheaper batches available), or you can order in
the
normal way if you want to buy other things at the same time (see
"How
to Order" below).
| Warning
One. We
cannot recommend putting hard objects into food !
Putting coins
into a pudding obviously has the potential dangers of
damaging teeth,
or of swallowing/choking. You do so at your own choice and
risk. |
| Warning
Two. These coins
will not have been cleaned. Traditionally, people used to
wrap the
coins in greaseproof paper. |
