Received my first 2019 50p today, standard circulation design. Anyone received any other 2019 standard business designs, ie nont commemoratives?

I have not been checking much recently but I do have the 50p & £1 coins from 2019.
Not sure of the smaller denominations though, I will do some checks in the coming days.

I have only found a single 2019 £1 coin. Looked through £20 worth of £1 and £20 of 50 pence coins and did not find anything from 2018 or 2019.

I am getting plenty of the 2019 £1 and standard 50ps in change - not even setting them aside anymore. I haven't seen anything else 2019 although someone told me they got a Sherlock Holmes 50p in change the other day.
2018 - lots of £1 coins, and of course the Alphabet 10ps plus Tailor of Gloucester and Flopsy Bunny 50ps, but nothing else at all.

In West Berkshire, the alphabet 10 pence coins seem to be very hard to find. How many are you finding?

I've pulled about 10 alphabet 10p's from circulation (all dated 2018) and have also had a 2018 £1 coin, the two Paddington 50p's, Tailor of Gloucester and Representation of the People Act.
I've had three 2019 £1 coins and lots of regular shield design 50p's - in fact, I went to the bank two days ago to get £250 in 50p's, hoping to get the three 2018 Beatrix Potter coins I'm still missing, and £50 worth of the coins were uncirculated 2019 50p's in sealed bags!
Looking back at 2017, I've had the 1p, 5p, 10p, 50p shield, 50p Newton, plenty of all four Beatrix Potter coins and numerous £1 coins. Still looking for a 2p.
For 2016 I've had every coin issued for circulation except the Shakespeare Comedy £2.

I've got a feeling the alphabet 10ps were all released in the south of England and south Wales. I've never seen one (I'm in Scotland) and no one else I know has seen one; I suspect they're all being pulled from circulation in southern England. I've seen bags of alphabet 10ps advertised on FB and ebay but how do the sellers get their hands on them ? |

I know for a fact that my local P.O. franchise holder has been done at least twice for selling coins ( inside information ) that should be meant for circulation, this is the main reason we are not seeing the Alphabet 10p's and others in our change.
I am in Nottingham and have yet to find a single 10p, I do get the odd 50p & £2 but these are mostly older issues and very rarely new ones.

I have found only one alphabet 10p in change since they started last year. I now have a 2019 £1, but from people above, this is becoming common it seems. Still looking for the others....

I have the 2019 20p but none of the smaller denominations yet.
I can get a picture done if you want, just posting on the fly.
