Sixties Cash

The Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge for Thusday 11th December is:-

"A blast from the past...in a sixties style..."

The four sixpence are from 1960, 1961 and 1964
The two large coins are the 1965 Churchill Crown, minted in honour and memory of Sir Winston Churchill who died in that year. They are also the last five shilling coins made.
The sum total of this haul is 12 shillings (or 60p in new money :-) )

I've got a bunch of those here somewhere.
Wonder how far they'll go at Starbucks?
