Blackhawk Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 With the holiday season fast approaching, I'm again reminded of the British tradition of putting silver threepence into their Christmas pudding. Has anyone on the forum ever done this? If so, how many coins are put into the pudding? If you're familiar with any other cooking that includes coins (or banknotes for that matter), please post on this thread and tell us about it.

YeOldeCollector Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 From what I remember there isn't a set number of threepences but usually it's just one. You may crack your tooth but at least you get a silver coin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 You may wish to use a pre-1919 sterling one since some or all of the 1920s and later 50% issues have nickel in the alloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about using one from a Maundy Set, then you could have Royal Christmas Pudding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 How about a quintuple sovereign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Has anyone on the forum ever done this? If so, how many coins are put into the pudding? The number of sixpences = the number of children in my parents house. I am sure that when Mum cut the pudding & dished it up that she inserted the sixpences into each of the childrens servings, ie with sleight of hand after cooking, quite easily done into a cut piece of xmas pud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
