I got another Bannister 50p from the same small supermarket near the station as the previous times and a nice brown `71 two pence and I finally got a 2013 two pence to top it all off ! I`m liking that supermarket more and more .....

I was in a pub with a lady friend on Saturday. She pulled some change out of her purse, and I spotted an unfamiliar £2 coin among it. I asked her if I could change it, and she let me have it for face value - it was a 1998 Jersey £2. Never had one before.

That is the one thing I find REALLY hard to get.
I do have a couple of the IOM Racing Car £2's but nothing else.

On-Topic...

Was scammed by a self-service checkout that spat me a 10 Groszy instead of a 5p yesterday.
I had the last laugh tho, as the £2 it spat at me was a Commonwealth Games (England) one :D

Actually it was from my brother - I was settling up with him for some shopping and he gave it to me from his pocket change (he's not a coin collector). Don't know where he got it from!
