There was a bloke at my school,  Andy Cowlard,  who played a banjo and using
a threepenny bit as a slide used to make it sound like a sitar.  A
threepenny bit was an octagonal coin from the days of LSD (Pounds, shillings
and pence), tho that was also the late sixties.  

Just thought you might like to know.
