Royal Mint is offering UK collectors an album for the Olympic 50 pence coins for free (no postage either) - limited offer in both time and number of albums.

jdfindring.....I placed two orders, so I am hoping we both get an album.

The Royal Mint site had worst problems than the US Mint site ever had last night.

Of course, you know these means we will have to get the completer medal now as well since there is a hole for that in this album.

Coins in this album will be a 2nd set for me.

I ordered one too but I am not sure I will fill it.

I have BU coins which are on cards and wrapped, with those they give you a folder that the cards slot into held by opposing corners. It is not very successful though so I am just keeping those BU ones in their original packaging.

As for getting these in my change I don't seem so lucky with that.

Thanks for the info though... anything free I will take it!

I received my folder today... I guess I will jusst use it for any strays that turn up in my change (I have only had 6 different ones in my change so far)

I was tempted to remove my uncirculated ones to fill the folder but I guess they will store better and have some premium inside their respective mint packaging even if they aren't particularly nice to view or compact to store.

I already had a complete set before the album was on offer. I am about 1/2 done with my 2nd set.

Got all of mine from circulation or trading my extras for what I needed.
