This clip's current date range of 1970-79 can be somewhat reduced. Decimal 5p and 10p coins like those seen in the clip were produced as early as 1968 in preparation for decimalisation. "Decimal Day" itself was the 15th February 1971. The date of this clip can therefore safely be reduced to 1968-71.
