I have a bag in which i've been accumulating interesting coins for 15-20
years (ever since i had coins, basically!). It's mostly the special
designs of UK pounds, two pounds and 50ps, plus various coins from the
channel islands, Man and Gibraltar.
I have noticed lately that there appear to be much less coins 1- and 2-pound
coins, plus 50-pence coins with special reverses in circulation. Is it
becoming a trend for the general public to hoard these coins?
The most interesting things are a St Helena & Ascension pound, which is a
fairly dull design with some birds on it,
I rather liked that design.
