It is a cool coin! Interesting facts about it: The reverse features a thrift plant, and the original design had a word THRIFT under the plant. The brass three pence coins were produced to replace unpopular (because of their small size) silver coins, but since the government wasn't sure if people would accept the new coin silver 3d coins were issued along till 1945 (although 1942-44 were not for use in the UK, and 1945 batch was melted down). The coin originally was supposed to be thinner but they discovered that thin trial pieces could work some coin machines designed to take 6d and shilling coins, so eventually they went with thick coins which wouldn't fit in the slots. The 12-sided design used to have sharp corners but that proved to be wearing out steel collars rather quickly because of high stress at those points. During WW2 steel was in high demand, so in 1941 they rounded the corners a little to prolong the life of collars. After 1949 the corners were sharp again.
