Nice one.

The British penny is about the size of a 1-cent coin in the United
States.

They haven't used pre-decimal coins here since the early '70s.
The old shilling and and two shilling coins were the same size as their
decimal replacement 5p and 10p coins. They were certainly common well
into the 80s when they were replaced by the current smaller 5p and 10p
coins.

The smaller 5p and 10p coins were introduced in 1990 and 1992. They will
shortly be replaces again by thicker base metal versions.
