3d at a time*.

Thrift, Armeria maritima


.



*3d was an old pre-decimal coin that featured this plant on its 'tails' side.
The coin was generally known as a "threepenny bit", “thruppence” or “thruppenny bit".

The thrift emblem was replaced by a portcullis in 1953 so you have to be 'of a certain age' to remember it.
