Six Thruppenny Bits by gamelee

Six Thruppenny Bits

The threepence or thruppenny bit was a denomination of currency used in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Valued at 1/80 of a pound or ¼ of a shilling until decimalisation in 1971. It took me quite a few attempts to get them balanced like this.

@jo13 @gillg @ivan @onewing @pflaume @gamelee @fishers @colie @johnmnewman - Thank you for the comments, they are really appreciated. John. No glue or anything else holding them together, just balanced. Took about a dozen attempts though.
