The nickel-brass threepenny bit had been introduced in 1937 specifically to replace the tiny silver threepence, which was widely disliked for its habit of disappearing into coat linings and being mistaken for sixpences. By the time Elizabeth II's first portrait appeared on the series, the twelve-sided coin had become a fixture of everyday British life — particularly associated with the Christmas pudding tradition, where one was baked inside as a charm for the finder.
Production ended in 1967 as decimalisation planning made the denomination redundant. It ceased to be legal tender in August 1971.
