Oh, this bring memories back! Although I always knew a 'bin lid' as a quid, not a kid.

 

Always used the term "bin lid" for a kid, or ankle biter, sprog, for the quid it was always a nicker. Half a nicker ten bob, same as half a quid, dollar 5 shillings, half a dollar 2s and 6d.

 

Threepenny bits referred to a lady's chest dumplings :hihi:
