Research:
Originally “Check Your Change” was a series of little booklets introduced in 1965 by the late Richard John Marles. They were printed at his own Belgravia Press printing works in Torquay, England. In the mid to late 1960s there was a huge new interest in coins. At that time coins from 1816 onwards could be found in change and Britain was about to go decimal, so the old coins wouldn’t be around for much longer!

The most popular booklet was “Check Your Change No. 1” which covered the circulating money from 1902 right up to 1965. Other books were introduced over the years. Including coverage for Victorian coins, 18th century coins, Irish coins, the Channel Islands and Bermuda. Decimalisation came in 1971 and the books became a range of annual price guide for collectors, printed by the company that was at that time known as ‘Rotographic’ (from the printing methods of Roto-gravure and Lithographic).
