The New £2 Coin

I had one and spent it yesterday (easy come, easy go ). Didn't notice it until the checkout person at Tescos spotted it!

Are there any more different ones do you know?

[speedster]

Nice coin, isn't it. I meant to buy a special commemorative one to save to remember the birth of our son back in May, him being a Cornish lad and all that. I'll find one before Xmas I expect. We live a couple of miles from Camborne, where Trevithick famously tried out his road-going locomotive on Camborne Hill. Shame the person everybody remembers in connection with steam locos is Stephenson! Trevithick Day is a great celebration, though http://www.cwinpenny.plus.com/trevit...ithick_Day.htm

Still I live in Redruth, so I can't say much.

£6.95 but you are paying for the presentation packaging and for obtaining the coin uncirculated.
