The first decimal coins, the 5p and 10p came out in 1968 but the official changeover came later...

On the 15th of February 1971, after a great deal of opposition and discussion, the UK changed from £ s d (pounds, shillings and pence) to a decimal system.
I remember having some decimal coins, I think it was the 10p piece with 1969 stamped on it so I guess it was a gradual changeover to give people chance to get used to it. However it was phased in for the 15th Feb 71.

The change was quite substantial. For example on the 14th of February £1 was equal to 20 shillings which was equivalent to 240 pence.

On the 15th of February £1 was equal to 100 new pence. In preparation some coins were removed from circulation and others were introduced. In 1968 the five pence piece was introduced to replace the shilling and the ten pence piece was introduced to replace the florin. The half penny was withdrawn from circulation in 1969. Finally in 1970 the half crown was withdrawn from circulation and a new twenty pound note was issued.

I hope this answers your question...

Taken from an article on the subject:

The first decimal coins in Britain dropped into purses and wallets across the nation on 15 February 1971.

The official changeover was 1971 - although some decimal coins were already in circulation prior to that - sadly I'm old enough to remember £ s d or LSD (Pounds, shillings & pence).

1969 I remember it and it been a rip off ever since
