Ask The Wedding Guide: Where could I purchase what is called a sixpence. Jackie

Jackie,
Today, most brides who want to follow the "something old, something new and a sixpence in your shoe" wedding tradition simply use a penny or another coin as a symbol of the six pence. I don't believe six-pence are in current circulation. However, if you have your heart set on a sixpence try one of these places: coin collectors who deal in British coins , wedding accessory shops who deal in wedding tradition items, wedding supply compaines with wedding tradition items.
