A year or so ago, someone at work decided to collect all those special edition 50p coins with new designs on the back. This soon expanded to include the £2 coins with similarly different designs, though that becomes an expensive hobby.
At the same time, Mrs M was collecting all the Beatrix Potter 50p coins, and later the Paddington Bear ones. Me, I set to work looking for all the 2012 Olympic Games editions, a thankless task as most have been snapped up and rarely appear in loose change. I do insist on finding mine rather than buying them off E-bay.
Meanwhile many burly Teesside bus drivers can be heard mourning the impossibility of finding the rarest Kew Gardens 50p, or weeping into their teacup over that elusive Flopsy Bunny....
So, does anyone else here collect these, or am I the only saddo?
Here's a few....
Beatrix Potter collection 2016/7/8, minus aforementioned Flopsy Bunny.
Paddington, last year and this year - new St Paul's Cathedral one not yet out.
10/29 Olympics 2012 coins.
A few rare £2 coins, plus the ultra rare "Z" 10p - I've yet to find "A-Y", yet apparently "Z" is the rarest.
