Background Information With the introduction of the decimal coinage in 1971 the pre-decimal two shilling coin was redenominated as a 10p piece and these two shilling coins continued to circulate alongside the 10p coins until 1993. After a review of the United Kingdom coinage in 1987, the Government announced its intention to issue a smaller 10p coin. The smaller coin was issued on 30 September 1992 and as at 31 December 2005 there were an estimated 1,587 million 10p coins in circulation. The 10p coin is legal tender for amounts up to £5.
