[QUOTE="ChrisD, post: 459041, member: 8625"] I recently found an Edward IV Sixpence (1831-1837). Im located in Queensland, so coins of this age are found, but quite rare. The interesting thing is that it was very worn and had obviously been in circulation for some time and was found with other predecs of a much later period (1950s). The site it was found at does have a long history though. My question is, how long did the English coins circulate after the Australian currency was introduced (1910/1911)? I am interested in peoples [i]thoughts[/i], I have my own, but would love to hear from anyone knowledgeable in this area and can cite any [i]specific references. [/i] I wonder if a coin from the 1830s would still have been circulating well into the 20th century? PS: probably a question for a coin Forum, but Im not a member of any and it is a broad church here :D . [/QUOTE]
