Who are the coins given to now? How are they chosen? What do they do with them? Sell them immediately? How much are they worth in the free market?
Comment: Yes, there is absolutely no information on who the modern recipients are and how they qualify - could someone enlighten us please!
Also, where does the ceremony take place? Ben Finn 14:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Under a special privilege granted by Queen Elizabeth I, students in the youngest class of Westminster School also received Maundy coins, but this was discontinued in the 1970s.
Was it really given to those students for so many years?
Interesting Elizabeth I started it, and Elizabeth II ended it...
Maundy money has been given to Cathedral Choristers, and perhaps also to others who are not elderly.Varnebank (talk) 15:12, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
This article heavily references a Brian Robinson book from 1977. Does anyone know who this guy even is? I searched for a while online and couldn't find any information on him other that he wrote a couple books that appear to be out of print. I also can't find much about the publisher, Kaye & Ward. Is Robinson credentialed? Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 21:47, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
