I've still not had a Representation Of The People Act 50p, but I got my first 2018 Beatrix Potter 50p today - a Tailor of Gloucester one!

I have had lots of the Representation of the People Act, and quite a few Paddington Bears (both sorts), but only 2 Tailor of Gloucester so far. I have managed to swap for the other 3 2018 Beatrix Potters - Flopsy Bunny, Mrs Titmouse and Peter Rabbit with Carrots. I will NOT get Gruffalo unless it comes into circulation - I have decided on principle not to buy non-circulating coins from the RM. Only possible exception is the mooted Pink Floyd coin - if that happens I MUST have one!

Won these in the amusement arcade on Brighton Pier yesterday - a 2016 Gibraltar 10p and a 2009 Barbados 25 cents (masquerading as a 10p)!   Looking at thousands of 10p coins in the machines, I spotted just one 2018 'Alphabet' coin. I wasted about £1.50 trying to win it, but just couldn't shift it to the edge! Eventually I gave up as I didn't want to miss my train home!

My first 2019 coins in change - two one-pound coins handed to me yesterday at Bodmin train station in Cornwall:  Not quite in change, but I got this NCLT 2019 Peter Rabbit 50p for face value at the Change Checker coin swap at the Drake Shopping Center in Plymouth on Saturday:

This is the first 2019 10p I've had - a Loch Ness Monster one! I won it in a pusher-type machine in Ramsgate, Kent this afternoon. Luckily I almost broke even and I also won a 2006-P Nebraska State Quarter from the same machine:
