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. |
