All,

Here are today's finds.

Today's-£2-Finds---Olympic-Handover-And-Act-Of-Union

One on the left is the 2007 Act of Union £2 with a mintage of 7,545,000.

The one on the right is the 2008 Olympic Handover £2. No mintage figures on The Royal Mint web site. First one that I saw in circulation.

Owww, I have never seen the beijing handover coin, not even from the mint. Good find, I think these will be worth a bit in the future. The other one I have found a few times (possibly only twice, not sure) but makes me think there are quite a few more out there, but any find for £2 and 50ps is a good one nowadays!

Very good find Kena, will be looking for those two coins when I am there. Hopefully they'll release more 2008 50p's and 2 Pounds soon!. :) By teh way, you could post that thread to "Interesting find from the circulation in UK" to keep it going alive. :)

Wonder if we should consider two threads.

1) For UK coins found in UK circulation.

2) Coins found in circulation in the UK which are not UK coins.

Any of the would work, let me know if you want me to edit the "Interesting find from circulation in UK". I think we may use that topic for everything Uk or non-UK we find. Any ideas are welcome, though, the 2-Pound coins are really lovely.
