Why a 20p and not 25p, since the previous Crown was equivalent to 25p in decimal currency? -- Nik42 06:16, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I did a web search for Heather Langridge whose 20th birthday apparently a grateful nation celebrated in 1971 but could find nothing relevant. I notice the same person is referenced by the same phrasing in http://medlibrary.org/medwiki/Twenty_pence_(British_coin) so who copied who and why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PCWoodgnome (talk • contribs) 02:16, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
The obverse side of the coin has now changed, with the adding of the year. David (talk) 13:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
I have now taken care of this. Alienturnedhuman (talk) 19:48, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Somehow I misremembered that the 20p has nine corners vs the 50p's seven. Has there ever been a nonagonal coin? —Tamfang (talk) 09:06, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Is there any explanation of why it is 84:16 cupronickel rather than the 75:25 of all the other UK 'silver' coins ? Rod57 (talk) 02:54, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

There is an interesting article on the Royal Mint's website that shows designs were well advanced for a 20p coin that would have entered circulation at decimalisation in 1971. Possibly, it may even have been intended for it to have circulated from 1968-71 as a 4s coin, in the same way that the new 5p, 10p and 50p coins were introduced early for public familiarisation purposes (which was possible as they has exact pre-decimal values, i.e. 1s, 2s & 10s). An image of the coin can be found here.
Is this fact worthy of inclusion here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.185.6 (talk) 12:06, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
The exact date of issue was, according to The Times Feb 11 1982, scheduled to be June 9 1982. The article doesn't mention the exact date of issue. Why don't you put in June 9 1982 as the exact date of issue? After all, you have space to include absurd, robotic nitpicking about '20 pence coin' versus '20p coin', so you should also have space to include the exact date of issue.

Is that 20p elizabeth coin is rare...? 175.157.241.51 (talk) 17:25, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
