It would be nice if some of these questions were addressed in the article. Nosferattus (talk) 00:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Which Queen?
Under a special privilege granted by Queen Elizabeth I, students in the youngest class of Westminster School also received Maundy coins, but this was discontinued in the 1970s.
Was it really given to those students for so many years?
Interesting Elizabeth I started it, and Elizabeth II ended it...
Not only to the elderly

Maundy money has been given to Cathedral Choristers, and perhaps also to others who are not elderly.Varnebank (talk) 15:12, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
That's true, and it's mentioned that some participants get a set of Maundy money. But they don't get the number equivalent to the Queen's age in bags, they get a set I believe in a holder.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:24, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
No, that's right, four coins sealed in separate bubbles in a plastic pack to a Chorister, in a small envelope marked 'Maundy Money' and underneath 'Rate'. So not 'Queen's Maundy Money'. The coins are 1, 2, 3, and 4 pence, in the case I know of they are silver (but I think they can also be gold in this context). Varnebank (talk) 16:01, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
I think the gold is collectors only, in 2002. Can you upload a photograph? That would be very useful.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:13, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Brian Robinson

This article heavily references a Brian Robinson book from 1977. Does anyone know who this guy even is? I searched for a while online and couldn't find any information on him other that he wrote a couple books that appear to be out of print. I also can't find much about the publisher, Kaye & Ward. Is Robinson credentialed? Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 21:47, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
According to the back flyleaf of the 1977 book (I have both with me right now), below his photo, "The author was educated at the University of Manchester where he obtained the degrees of B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. He subsequently held research fellowships at the Universities of St Andrews and Nottingham and teaching research appointments at the Universities of Kumasi, Ghana and Illinois U.S.A. At present he is the Senior Lecturer in Pharmacy at the University of Manchester. Numismatics have been his hobby for 25 years and over the past ten years he has specialised in the collection and study of Maundy Money." According to the copyright page of the 1992 book, he was born in 1936 and the title page reveals he added F.R.S.C. to his collection of postnominals, and he signs the preface from Eyam, Derbyshire. Regarding Kaye and Ward, they had the address of 21 New Street EC2M 4NT. I should add that Spink, who published the 1992 book, are very well regarded coin dealers and numismatic publishers.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:05, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
