When trying to raise money following the apparent loss of their rent money, Robin stated he had a jar of 'ha'pennies' (a halfpenny - half of an old penny) and later poured a jar of ha'pennies on a bank managers desk as a means of opening a bank account. However, this series began broadcasting in 1973 when the UK had transitioned mostly to decimal coinage, and the pre-decimal halfpenny had already been withdrawn from circulation on 31 July 1969.
The information above is inaccurate. The old halfpenny, or ha'penny - pronounced "hayp-nee" - was phased out as stated, but decimalisation brought in a new one. The coins that Robin pours on to the bank managers desk are the new ones - much smaller than the old ones.

Derek Seaton, who played one of the policemen, was married in real life to Paula Wilcox (Chrissy) at the time.
The rent for Jo, Chrissy and Robin's two bedroom flat in London is £80 per month.
