Default How much was a ticket for the underground in the 60s?

I understood that the reason why 5p and 10p were made exactly the same
size and weight as 1s and 2s was because so many people had slot
meters that would have had to be replaced.

And of course they both had to be changed at about the same time because
the weight of 2x5p = 1x10p. Very handy for banks etc.
