While on my Raleigh, I ride with a 1971 UK New Penny in my tube repair patch kit for good luck. 1971 is the year the Raleigh was manufactured, and the first year of the New Penny which was introduced for UK currency decimalization.
I've add a 1966 1 shilling Coin (the final year the shilling was minted) to add more good luck. This one is the Scottish version. With decimalization, the Shilling was valued at 5 New Pence for a while (until 1991) until it was removed from circulation.
Here they are, along with patches for the English YHA (Youth Hostel Association) and the SYHA (Scottish Youth Hostel Association).
