In 1971 - 50 years ago today- we swapped UK "old money" to decimal money. 1 old pence piece was the equivalent value then of 1/2 new pence piece. My first experience of corporate rip off was my favourite Penny Arrow sweets cost one new pence each. They doubled in price overnight! pic.twitter.com/D4hWopkjOM
