HC Deb 07 December 1977 vol 940 c795W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to increase the supply of 5p coins, in view of the intended alteration in public telephones which will necessitate greater use of these coins.

Mr. Denzil Davies

No decision has been taken to alter telephone call boxes. However, if the change were made the Royal Mint would have no difficulty in meeting any extra demand for 5p coins that might arise.
