• The success of London Transport's switch to decimal currency largely depends on the continued widespread circulation of the 6d piece. However, the Decimal Currency Board believes the 6d coin will quickly decline in popularity, so LT in order to safeguard its present fares system is having Elm worth of 6d pieces wrapped in
£1 lots ready for D-day.
Sir Richard Way, chairman of LTE, said on Wednesday: "If shops bank all the sixpences they get, and do not give them as change for re-circulation, the future of this—to us—vital little coin looks brief indeed."
