Just looking for a bit of advice really - I was given a 2014 commemorative WW1 £2 coin in amongst change while shopping. I thought it seemed unusual so kept a hold of it. Ive had a quick google and it seems they never went into circulation & were only release as a collectors piece. I dont have a clue about anything to do with this kind of thing so just wandered what you think I should do with it, if anything at all! Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

I believe there were 100 of them with the old, non-smiling, portrait of the queen, you probably have the new 2015 onwards portrait of the queen. Though someone also said something about Chinese fakes, not sure if it was with this coin or not. Report this Post to the Staff

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 5:13 pm There are quite a few about at the moment. From my experience, it seems that commemorative coins vanish from circulation after a short while, so if you do intend to collect, put one by. Don't get conned by so-called error coins on ebay. There are some of those Kitchener coins where the legend "your country needs" is unreadable. You can still find those in change at the moment. Report this Post to the Staff
