Does anyone know where I could get a set of old money - sixpence, half a crown, ten bob note etc. It’s for a quiz at a local sheltered housing block for older residents.

Try eBay? There are always lots of coins and notes for sale.

I have just looked, it may well be you don’t wish to spend so much!

It's possible that a props department in a theatre could help. Amateur companies in particular would probably loan out their coins/notes for a small fee. We do, here in Torquay!

Thank you for your suggestions. I just tried an internet search and found how easy it is to get fake money but it’s all current banknotes.

I hope you can find it. It's a lovely idea for an activity in the sheltered housing group.
