For anyone interested in such things, On 9 January 2013, Royal
Mail is issuing a set of stamps featuring the London
Underground.

The Royal Mint is also producing two £2 coins to celebrate the
150th anniversary of the Metropolitan Line.

Thank you for letting us know. I am cross posting this for a
wider audience.



And the cost of two £2.00 coins?

£20 according to the Royal Mint website....

That price is for uncirculated coins in presentation packs.


and it's surprising what a difference having a genuinely uncirculated coin
can make to the collectable value (and in 10 years time it's easy to tell
the difference).

Of course whether a particular commemorative theme is worth collecting for
its long term value depends upon entirely different things.
