I'd better get on my bike and get one.

I've picked up 5 different ones from circulation.

I don't think I will bother looking out for 2010 2p's

I bit the bullet and got the lot the other day as there are 24 new designers covered by the 29 coins in the series. Bring back the resident artist, or at least employ previously used ones rather than inflicting this on me. I don't want a collection full of modern dross. Please. There are now nearly as many attributed designers in the decimal period as I am aware of in the 800 years leading up to it.

Guess it best not much said about those American State and America the Beautiful quarters now. I agree these "Oly" coins are pure dross.

[scott 144]

only 38 million, compared to 200+ million of other years

i think all the decimal designs are poor, tbh the designs since 1860 got slowly worse anyway

In other words, only "one between two" for every inhabitant of Britain. Oh dear, a lot of people are going to go without.

None of you will have it. I got it in my change this morning. Must put it on ebay asap. Very rare, could be unique, never seen one before. £1000 BIN or best offer. Where's the prat emoticon when you need one?

With cycling being one of the more popular sports & one we have a chance of winning medals in, I would have thought the mintage would be higher not lower than the others. Or is it like when I was a kid collecting football cards, you never found the best players.
