Mr Money - E.J. Arnold and Son Limited Leeds
Not entirely sure of the year on this one. The coins used in the game are stamped with 1971 though. Probably just after decimalisation perhaps ? (any offers of help here gratefully received). The game was for 2 to four players, each of whom had a board with a graphic of a Mr. Money on it. the idea was to role the HUGE dice and each time you rolled a coin, you took it from the bank and placed it on your card. The first person to complete Mr. Money won the game. the 5ps are the older ones, as are the 10ps and there are plenty of half pennies in the games as well.

Tornado Bowl by Ideal 1971
Produced by "IDEAL" back in 1971 and made in England under licence by Ideal Toy Co. Ltd. This game was for 2-4 players and played in an arena similar to that of Battling Tops. Each player had five wooden pegs that were placed strategically behind your own coloured plastic shields. Once all the players were ready a large plastic top (tornado) was wound up and released into the arena. The players then used the switches at the side of the arena to deflect the tornado onto the opponent's pegs. Last peg standing would win that round. The first one to reach 15 men still standing throughout the tournament won the overall game. Great game and still a favourite today.
