    We quite often have one of these small Roundabouts in our local Market Square (Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent)- kid's holiday times guaranteed and on many summer weekends too.

            Can't say I ever remember using them myself. I only remember using these ones:-

            Someone was trying to sell one on ebay for 80p but no one wanted it. Funny that!

                The ship ha'pennies were a lot bigger than the new half pennies, between the size of an old 5p and 10p I think. While were on the subject of money, do you remember when the 20p's first came out in 1982?

                I remember my Mum wouldn't spend them for ages, she just kept putting them away in a jar.

                    Re: I ain't seen that in...yonks!

                    Yep I sure do, also remember bigger 5p ,10p and 50p coins, Think mum has one of the first £2 coins somewhere, also a limited addition £5 coin, I also remember the five and ten pound notes being bigger too.

                    It will be the small ones I remember then, smaller than todays penny.

                      Just found some info on the ship ha'penny - they were produced between 1937-1967, so they were long before your time, they were about 1" diameter, and the picture of the ship is Sir Francis Drake's 'The Golden Hind'. So there's some more useless information for you.

                        Hey you never know when useless information, will come in, erm, useful. When I win "who wants to be a millionaire" on a question about the half pence peice, i'll be thinking ohh Steve, Steve who???? no just joking I'll go halfs on the prize money.
                        I do actually find it interesting looked up all the coins and notes, I can remember being updated.
