The Royal Mint has updated its mintage figures and they make interesting reading !

The number of 2 pence coins minted is quite low in relative terms especially for 2013 .....probably why I have only come across one 2013 2p

, all this does make me wonder about 2p`s â€" have people been emptying out their change boxes to cause the massive reduction in pennies and 2 pence`s minted (especially the 2p`s) ?
The number of 10p coins

and £2 for 2012 is also quite low and so are the £2 commemoratives which now seem to be minted in sub -million quantities...... any thoughts ?
