  1. I've managed to find the remainder of the percentage differences between 2008 old / new issue numbers... (Including the 20p to £1 again as I messed up the calculations to work out the percentages. As you do). 1p : 180,600,000 / 386,830,000 (31.8% features old design) 2p : 10,600,000 / 129,530,000 (7.6% features old design) 5p : 86,400,000 / 109,460,000 (44.1% features old design) 10p : 9,720,000 / 53,900,000 (15.3% features old design) 20p : 11,900,000 / 81,920,000 (12.7% features old design) 50p : 700,000 / 12,320,000 (5.3% features old design) £1 : 3,910,000 / 29,433,000 (11.7% features old design) Sources: HERE and HERE Makes me wonder why it's extremely difficult to find the 2p and yet easy to find the 20p even though the issue numbers are very similar. Might be because 20p pieces are used more frequently in transactions.
  2. From what I've read on the forum, it appears that the 50p is very hard to find...?
