    Humph!

    Well, I feel rather sad for you. New money has never really felt 'proper' to me. Old money was much prettier and a more interesting shape, it felt like it was worth something. Ha'pennies with ships, pennies with Brittania, and my own particular fave was the thre'penny bit....
    I wasn't around for the farthing, more's the pity, - I think that had a wren on it.

    Well "proper money" was the stuff before '47. I've got some of that. Amazing some of the detail on it.
