I still have my mother's collection of Christmas Pudding sixpence coins from my childhood. Each year the Christmas Pudding was "loaded" and Mother made sure that in my younger brother's and my slice of pudding was a sixpence or two.
This was in the 1950's. I missed those sixpences when decimal currency was introduced - just was not the same.
After Mother died, I was given her beautiful jarrah sideboard (still have it) and when I was cleaning it out, there in one of the drawers was the little bag of Christmas sixpences.
