Maundy money are British coins that are presented to elderly people in need on Maundy Thursday as part of a religious ceremony. The term “maundy money” has been in use since George II (1727-1760). It is unclear at which point the use of normal circulation coins was discontinued and silver coins were especially minted for this occasion. A Maundy set consists of 1 penny, 2, 3 and 4 pence.
