Player #25874027, and Little Saint I fear the groat was gone from circulation well over 100 years before decimalisation! Also, the farthing and even the ha'penny were gone before '71. So was the threepenny bit, although these stuck around a while when both pre decimal coins and their successors were in use. Old shillings and two bob bits were with us for years after, as was the tanner. Confusing!

Little Saint, You left out the penny (1d), and the halfpenny,and the half crown (2/6 , two shillings and six pence). There were also the groat (4d four pennies , and the crown (5/-, five shillings) but these last two were not in use by the time of decimalisation.
