Default How much was a ticket for the underground in the 60s?

At the time, I remember a lot of complaints that the new 50p and 2s/10p
were too similar and could be confused, especially by older people. I
think originally the only difference was that the 50p was very slightly
larger and had the pointy sides whereas the 2s/10p was round.

As far as the 2s and 10p coins were concerned, would it have really been an
issue? I mean, the 10p coin was the same size as the 2s coin and had the
same value for about 10 years, if memory serves.

That wasn't the complaint - I referred to the 2s/10p coins together to
indicate them being considered a single entity - the complaint was
between these and the new 50p.
