Was the jackpot paid out in tokens to get around the maximum jackpot law?> |

what i can't fathom is , after new pence came about in the early 70s - what came before the half penny -or how was the gap filled ? because half penny would have been worth about 10 pence
If everything was rounded up to the nearest 10 pence today there would be an outcry |

As robdylan says - get rid of 2s and 1s ,then maybe think about 5s |
