Yes, both of those should be out in circulation. Reason that The Royal Mint web site does not show any numbers for these coins is that none of the 2011 5 pence or 10 pence were released in 2011, they were first released in 2012. Hopefully they will update their web site and we will know what was released in 2012. |

The only circulation coin from 2011 I'm waiting for is a standard 50p, which I don't think were produced for circulation.

After ages searching I finally found one today in the change ,nice and shiny too  . I have to say these new steel 5p and 10p coins look quite appealing when they are fresh and shiny .... |

So far for 2013 I've only seen the London underground £2 coin and a few 10p, is there much else out there yet?

At least you have found a few ! I havent seen anything from 2013 so far  . Most people so far mention finding the 2013 10p coins I suspect this year they minted a tonne of them , last year they there was a very low mintage of 10p coins... |

I've had several 2011 10p's and two 5p's - but the 2012 5p's are incredibly common!

Yeah, there boat loads of 2012 5p coins ! 2011 was a very low mintage for 5p coins , thats why I am so excited to get them. I have only come across one 2011 10p. I suspect they will get harder to find in the future due to their low numbers ....... |

I know it's cheating, but I needed some change for the works coffee machine, so I popped into my local post office and got a £5 bag of 5p, and a £5 bag of 10p...in the 10p bag I got 3 2011 and 5 more 2013.
In the 5p bag 20% of them were 2012, no 2013s, but 2 more 2011...a good haul methinks...

Steve - I wouldn't say that's cheating - they are all unsearched coins from actual circulation. I've still only had the one 2013 10p so far...
