Where can I find British pence and pounds in coins for my kids to practice with before we go to London?
We have been starting to London in dual weeks as well as we have been acid for British Pence as well as pounds in silver form for a kids to make use of with so they get used to a coins. The bank exchanged us paper income though we have searched banks, silver dealers, Wells Fargo as well as a couple of alternative places as well as have been incompetent to get any pounds or pence (not Euro’s, London will not make use of a Euro, Just pounds as well as pence) in silver form for them to make use of with. Any assistance would be so appreciated. Thank you.

Hmmm. Usually money exchange places only trade in notes. I don’t know. I’m sorry.
lol practice? ok weird…. theres one P we call it, not ‘pence’ two P, 5P, 10P, 20P, 50P, 1£, 2£ hehe have a nice trip, p.s dont make any cup of tea jokes with english ppl, they get pissed off
What about Atlantic City casinos, I know they exchange foreign money, and I heard for a better rate than banks. I don’t know where you are located so that is a suggestion. If you are not near AC what about other casinos, Vegas, Connecticut, etc.
Although I am in the United States, I have English coins at home, leftover from my last trip. I would be willing to send some to you; just email me.
I can’t tell you where you can get some of our real coins whilst you are still in the States, but if you take a look at this site it shows you what our coins are like and describes them fully….It’s the site for the Woodlands School in Kent..it is an award winning site and has some really useful information about all things British if you care to explore it once you have had a look at the coins….
Have a safe journey and enjoy your time in our country!
EDIT
btw
the 5p piece is ridiculously small…
A good place to try would be at your closest international airport. There are foreign exchange counters at every one I have ever been to. Perhaps they would have coins, as well. You should probably phone first to be sure.
Why practice. The coins work like dollars and cents, it’s just that they are worth twice as much.
The old, exotic system went in the 1960s.
