I can remember when they 'called in' the old halfpenny, because we gathered them all up and went down to Mrs Dibble's shop (junction of Plassey Street and Albert Road, Penarth) to blow them all on sweets.
And that's another thing - Black Jacks, Fruit Salads, Parma Violets, humbugs, Bazooka Joe bubble gum, flying saucers, Spanish Root, Pirates Gold, sweet cigarettes....
