Dilemma today at the post office. They had two Benjamin Brittens and all I had in change was a new £1.00 coin. I took the 50s.

Local PO provided me with the Welsh pound coin this morning.
Just need one London underground £2 to complete the year set...

Thats awesome !  Speaking of which, I got a "regular" 2013 £2 at the Co-op - it was toned just a little bit  and then less 20 minutes later I promptly spent it and got a Girl Guiding 50p !  |

No 2013 50p or £1 coins yet in change for me. Finally just got my first 20p.
A friend from County Durham reports getting a 2013 definitive / shield type 50p in change.

At last! Got a 2013 Welsh reverse pound coin in my local village store today.
Still no 2013 50p (of any design).

Just been out to the cinema (movie theater for Americans) with a lady friend who always 'goes Dutch' - when she gave me the money for her ticket, among the coins was a definitive style 2013 £2 - the first I've had!

... and today I had to go to the bank to pay in a cheque, so I asked for two £10 bags of 50p coins. Just sorted through them and got one immaculate 2013 (definitive type). There were two 2012 definitives, two 2011 Olympics (Swimming and Archery), one 2011 World Wildlife Fund, one 2010 Girl Guides and one 2007 Scouts.

Thats a very interesting bag you got ! Its amazing that there are still some Olympics 50p`s still floating around out there  What sort of a condition were the Olympics and WWF coins in ? |

Olympics swimming - Good EF
Olympics archery - NEF
WWF - virtually UNC but with a small stain on the obverse
Was quite surprised to get two Olympics coins in one bag!

At last...It's taken me ages but I've just completed my 2013 set from circulation. Got this one today - been a nightmare to find one.  |

You're lucky Steve - not had one of those yet but have had two of the Tube train design. And not had a Benjamin Britten 50p either, though just had my first Ironside one.

Thanks Rob, Only had the one Tube train design myself. Looking forward to the 2014 two pound coins getting released now.

I'm looking out for the 2014 1 penny coin. I put together a complete collection of 1 penny coins dating back to 1971. All I'm missing is the 1972 version which was released in proof only. I could buy it from ebay but I ain't paying £8 they're charging. |
