Surprising how few new(ish) British coins there are. Plastic seems to be taking over.

Yesterday I was buying a coffee from the buffet at my local train station and started getting out some coins. The man at the till asked me to pay by card because he "had too many coins in the till". I did. On reflection, I should have given him a £20 note and asked for change in coins, but there was quite a long line of passengers behind me waiting to pay and then needing to get to the right platform for the London train, and I wouldn't have wanted to cause a delay while he counted out the change...

I was thinking that before I read it, but I understand your hesitation.

My daughter works in a coffee shop in London, and she brought home her tips money for me to check. Here are the highlights: KCIII 2023 oak leaves 5 pence and 2025 bees one pound.

I paid for some gasoline in cash yesterday and got a handful of coins in change. When I looked at them later, one was a 1999 penny with full mint lustre. Not a spectacular find, but still in remarkable condition for a 27-year-old coin!

Hiya NumisRob. It's so nice to know they still turn up in your change. I got a Jeremy Fisher 50p that way the other day.

I got £200 in 50p coins from the bank yesterday and these were my most interesting finds - my first ever 2022 Shield reverse 50p...

... I found 14 commemoratives but they were mostly fairly common ones, apart from this - a 2011 Football 50p, the lowest mintage Olympic 50p...

It's quite unusual to get Olympic 50p's in circulation these days, and I've seen the Football coin, even in circulated condition, selling for up to £15 on ebay!

I like the 'offside explained' reverse.
