28.28 g (0.9975 ounce avoirdupois, 0.9092 oz troy)[edit]

Another prime example of why the world needs to eradicate imperial measures!

"28.28 g (0.9975 ounce avoirdupois, 0.9092 oz troy)"

I don't understand that at all, what on earth is an "avoirdupois" ounce? Isn't the Troy ounce bad enough as it is? I'm amending this be only show its weight in metric and troy imperial. If anyone objects then feel free to reverse the change and explain why. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Delta-NC (talk • contribs) 04:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1980 issue image[edit]

I don't know why the images of individual issues have been removed but I have added a photo of the 1980 issue from my own collection. It's not a very good photo, I know, but at least something. Especially with this issue, I think, the phrase "bows and lions" deserves a visual help for those of us who don't benefit from having English as our mother tongue. --88.101.185.82 (talk) 19:27, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

People trying to pass off older twenty-five pence coins as five pound coins?[edit]

This seems like a dubious assertion, given that both the 25p coin and the £5 coin are commemorative and highly unlikely to be spent. Anybody who has one almost certainly bought it at above face value, after all. 75.76.213.106 (talk) 01:01, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
