It looks like residents at Wheaton Aston Court Care Home had great fun exploring our reminiscence collection and remembering the changeover to decimal coins. π₯° To find out how to #BorrowABox visit our website: https://t.co/GP8x0caJZ4 #Decimal50 #carehomesuk #CareHomeActivitiesπ°
#ChildrensEyesMW As part of our #Decimal50 celebration, we hosted a short-story competition for year 5 & 6 primary school pupils in Wales. Pupils were asked to write a story inspired by Decimal Day in 1971 and the change to decimal money. https://t.co/FV9VAiyu57
Our short story competition may be over but it will be back in the next school year. Find out more about this year's competition, read the finalists stories and sign up for more info on our website: https://t.co/XHdCwzkv9y #edutwitter #teachers #teachertwitter #Decimal50

Z is for Z Cars. The years of work put in to the changeover ensured Decimal Day ran smoothly. The official helpline was so quiet the operators had time to watch TV. BBC programming that day included Magic Roundabout and Z Cars! https://t.co/Ljnx6kpNxY #Decimal50 #DecimalAtoZ
Y is for Your Guide to Decimal Money. The cornerstone of the final decimal campaign was this 24-page booklet. Focusing on everyday shopping problems it was to be an essential guide, and considerable effort was made to distribute it around the country. #Decimal50 #DecimalAtoZ
X is for Exchange. Although Decimal Day marked the official changeover to a new currency the transition was not immediate. This Decimal Currency Board advert explains how the old coins could still be used and exchanged during a temporary transition period. #Decimal50 #DecimalAtoZ
W is for Wales. Producing the volume of coins required for the decimal changeover was too much for the cramped conditions at the Royal Mint in London and plans were swiftly made to move decimal production to Llantrisant in Wales. #Decimal50 #DecimalAtoZ https://t.co/H8LBNnNPG2
@Laureate_Wales Eloise Williams reads Rhys' story, The Life of a Shilling. 'It has been 50 years since the new coins came along. But it is time to remember when coins like me were so important.' @ysgolybannau @MissBeckyGreen @newwelshreview #Decimal50 #Decimaltale #edutwitter
Our first speaker is Museum Education Manager, Amy Williams, 'This is the first time we have run a writing competition and we were really happy to see so many schools taking part.' @ysgolybannau @Laureate_Wales @MissBeckyGreen @newwelshreview #edutwitter #Decimaltale #Decimal50
U is for underpants! Decimal converters made their way onto an abundance of everyday objects, such as pens, watch straps, tea-towels, mugs and one manufacturer even produced menβs underwear featuring the decimal coin illustrations and the conversion table. #Decimal50 #DecimalAtoZ
T is for Trials. We like the crossover of these #decimal trial pieces from the 1960s which draw their designs from pre-decimal coins. Can you spot which ones? #numischat #Decimal50 #DecimalAtoZ

S is for shopping. Preparing retailers and shoppers for the Decimal Day changeover was a massive task. Find out more about how this was accomplished in our #guestblog by Allison Foster, Archivist at @sainsburyarch https://t.co/M2L6rOTWbP #DecimalAtoZ #Decimal50
R is for Royal Mint Advisory Committee. The Committee was established in 1922 and exists to raise the standard of numismatic and medallic art in Britain. It was central to the task of choosing the new decimal designs. https://t.co/ZRt6iZBkJN #DecimalAtoZ #Decimal50
Q is for quiet revolution. D Day went so well that the next day it was not even headline news in many newspapers. The transitional period ended on 31 August 1971, months ahead of schedule in an acknowledgement of a quiet revolution brilliantly accomplished #DecimalAtoZ #Decimal50
P is for pound. Debate surrounded whether to use the shilling or the pound as the key decimal unit. But ultimately it was felt that keeping the familiar pound name and value would be most beneficial for the public, business and international communities. #DecimalAtoZ #Decimal50
We have another finalist in our decimalisation short story competition! Well done Isabella for your excellent story 'One Lucky Penny' π₯³π @YGGGLlantrisant @Eloisejwilliams @Laureate_Wales @LitWales @newwelshreview #Decimal50
