Learned I need to establish etiquette in my posts outlining my expectations. When you receive an item please notify me and leave feedback: it's just polite. If you are unhappy with anything, communicate with me. If you have the patience of a sand flea, unrealistic perception of the world, and always see the glass half empty-I would rather you not bid at all. Truly. If you do not send me a verified address after 7 days I keep your credits and relist the item-if I choose to. I accept reasonable GIN offers prior to bids placed. If you fan me I fan back. I like to work with ethical people of integrity, I'm not going to include an explination. If you don't know, don't bid. I'm not on social media-that's why my Listia identity is not complete. Listia's own account on here is missing one social media account (that's when I knew this app was for me). Appreciate you being here and bidding, I have enjoyed this app and look forward to contribute and watching it grow!

In 1968 the English had a plan to go off the British coinage and to create a Decimal variation to improve the ease of conversion. When they went decimal, they needed a way to identify the old Pence from the new decimal coinage so they called their units NEW PENNY from 1970 - 1980. The Shilling was to be the same size and amount as the 5 New Pence and the two Shilling coin was to be the same as the 10 New Pence. The New Penny and the New 1/2 Pence could not take a direct relation to anything so the coin size was changed but it was still made of the copper/bronze as the older larger Pence. The whole decimalization makes an interesting story in the annals of Coins around the world.

Yes, New Penny. Apologies for not responding earlier to that portion of your question.
