Uk~ Interesting Find From The Circulation In The Uk~

I got a 5 euro cent at the supermarket early this afternoon

I dug up a pound (1990) at Elk Island National Park in Alberta, Canada a couple months back.

I'm still wondering how it got there... (even though it was in loose playground sand, moisture turned it black)

I got a 5 euro cent this afternoon

I must be on a roll with Euro coins

I got another one today !!



What a week !

oh wow , thats great

Its always nice to find a different coin or two in circulation in the UK. I remember finding a 2p from Gibraltar and another 2p from Isle of Man at the Brighton Pier. There were (maybe there still is!) machines that you throw 2p coins in, trying to drop more 2p coins. I kinda loved those back then. :) I found both the IOM 2p and the Gibraltar 2p there.
I also, very recently as North as Inverness, found two 1 Pounds, again IOM and Gibraltar, from 2002 and 2003. I used to find those in London too, just did not save them back then.
I found a 1997 IOM 50p coin with a motorcyclist on back, sometime ago in London.
OOh and I found a 2 eurocent given to me as a penny from the cashier at the Marble Arch Sainsbury's in London.
I found a Swiss 1 Franc coin lying on the pavement in Embankment.
Not interestingly, I found a pound coin on a zebra crossing in Cardiff sometime ago.:) I also found a 20 Pounds note in Cardiff, lying on the grounds next to the Castle. Lucky me. An average circulated Victoria halfcrown was about 5 Pounds in a coin shop back then.:)

thats great news about the Charles Dickens coin ..tis a lovely coin and I really like the words on the side of that coin !

My friend brought back a commemorative 2-pound coin from the UK by luck... I forget which one it is, though.

How common are they to find in circulation?

Canadian commemorative loonies and quarters are pretty easy to find, although there are some harder ones... I guess they will remain in circulation to commemorate their events for a long time!
