There is also the Mini coin.
And "Celebrate the exciting build-up to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games with a UK legal tender £5 coin. This 2009-dated coin marks the start of the 3, 2, 1 countdown to the Games and is the first of four coins to be struck over the next three years to 2012.
The Royal Mint is offering you the once-in-a-lifetime chance to own this £5 coin for just £5, making it a great keepsake of the countdown to London 2012."
And only 500,000 will be struck for collectors, there are not 500,000 people who want this coin!!
Frig, MORE OLYMPICS, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
How much can they get out of this. I sent in a load of designs for the 29, YES TWENTY NINE 50p pieces they will make. Cycling will be done by school kids, and one will be done by under 13 years olds, not sure which, but I think it might be athletics. So, something resembling the €2 coin for 2009 then!
Oh, and the hand over coin, which I do not have, yet.
WHy did France not win, I mean, seriously, they could only have issued like one €2 coin per year as a circulating coin. Much easier!
If you wait long enough, the Harry 8th coin will be £5 plus shipping, or for me, £5!! Whenever the anniversary is, they will then probably make it £5, in fact it is on Tuesday, the 500th anniversary of his accession to the throne.
The Post Office has stopped selling this stuff. They obviously did not make money have become more privatised so they have no need any more. Do the whole £5 for £5 thing if you live in the UK.
Kena, you had to pay for shipping for the £5? I didn't! Both coins were £5 each.
But on this one they want the delivery, hmmm!! I'm going to wait see if they do the coin without that packaging for £5! Or order everything together. I am not liking this!
