The 70's saw the coming of
decimalisation, which meant that the public could no longer 'check
their change'. The basic 'Check your Change' books were combined and
re-launched as the 'Collectors...' range. New (some short lived)
titles were also added. If you have a Rotographic title that isn't on this list
please let us know! email

And you thought the 1934 Crown
image on the 2005 edition of Collectors' Coins GB was original!

1977 edition and managed to persuade its new owner, Mr F Hulett
of Sterlingshire to part with it! Format: 80 pages, paperback with greyscale pictures
