I'm still missing a 2008 Ironside 2p. For a 10m mintage they're not as common as you'd think. Same as the 2009 50's & £2's I suppose, got all the other 09's but they're hiding!
I found a 1993 5p in my change jar when I routed through it collecting my set last year...Not likely to find another one of those in circulation for a while :D
Now, this raises another question...I was asking about the normal Dent shield 50p's but forgot to specify, and the reply said 'no 2009 50p's ' so I'm assuming that means none of the special issues were either

Thank you for your email.
I can confirm that no 2009 50p's have been released into circulation and I am unable to advise of 2010 release dates. We make circulation coins to fulfill orders from banks so unfortunately there are no set dates.

Message: Hi there, I'm wondering if you could possibly answer a few queries I have regarding mint figures and 2010 release dates. My little brother is collecting circulation coins and has been desperately searching for a 2009 50 pence piece, and after finding many other 2009 issues, still no 50p. Am I right in thinking by looking at the mintage figures that there were no 2009 50p's released into circulation (The first time since they were reduced in size!) ? Also, could you give us an estimate as to when 2010 circulation issues will be released ? Thanks for your time. Steve & CJ
