			<pubDate>Apr 01, 2025</pubDate>
			<link>https://www.ukdfd.co.uk/news/standing-order-update.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Please note that some membership subscriptions paid via PayPal standing order payments need to be updated to the current rates, as shown below.<br />
<br />
If full payment is not received, the member will be requested to pay the balance by purchasing credits to the value of the outstanding amount. The shortfall will be either £4 or £9, so credit packages to these values have been made available. To purchase, click on your name at the top right of the screen, select 'My Credits' and follow online instructions.<br />
<br />
If you prefer to cancel your membership, please contact us within seven days of payment for a refund. <br />
<br />
We currently offer a recurring option only on our monthly plan, and this is limited to twelve payments before the standing order has to be renewed.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Monthly Plan</em></strong><br />
£3 per month - single payment or recurring options available<br />
<strong><em>Annual Plan</em></strong><br />
£24 per year - single payment only<br />
<em><strong>Three-Year Plan</strong></em><br />
£54 per three-year period - single payment only]]></description>

			<title>Obsolete Reference Numbers</title>
			<pubDate>Dec 19, 2023</pubDate>
			<link>https://www.ukdfd.co.uk/news/ref-number-changes.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[It has come to our attention that some of the reference numbers cited on earlier UKDFD records have been rendered obsolete as a result of publishers making changes in later editions of their catalogues. This is particularly the case with the Spink <em>Standard Catalogue of British Coins</em>, new editions of which are usually published annually.<br />
<br />
For this reason, future citations of Spink coin numbers referenced on our database records will include the year of the edition to which they refer, e.g. <em>Spink (2024) 777A</em>. It is not practicable to review all database records retrospectively, but we will update any individual records brought to our attention by recorders or database users.]]></description>
