Collecting Coins & Money

Any other Monzonauts collecting any cool/commemorative coins & money?
I’ve always collected the commemorative 50p coins but since I’ve started working in a shop I’ve come across loads other cool coins.

Here’s one from today, a £5 Note from Jersey:

Also found some of the ‘A-Z of Great Britain’ 10p coins:

And here’s some random ones I had lying around:

Have a box full of them if anyone wants to see more.

Where I used to work I managed to collect 2 sets of the Olympic ones in 2012.

Also you get lots of foreign currency being mistaken for UK coins, most exotic I’ve got was from Turkmenistan

Oh, very nice. I never started collecting the £2 coins, it’s too expensive for me :laughing:
I haven’t seen some of those before though.

Yeah, I’ve come across some Greek coin that people keep mistaking for a 50p.
Also got some coins from the UAE, Poland and Indian.

Now that you mention it I saw one from Saudi Arabia,

My partner has been given a $20 dollar gold coin from 1911 by his mother to try and sell but we have no idea where to start. The Royal Mint website seems to be a reputable one but is not currently accepting any new requests for appraisals so we are finding it difficult to work out how much it is worth and where to sell it without being ripped off. Any ideas?!

“The Royal Mint says those looking for valuations should visit the British Numismatic Trade Association website which has a list of reputable coin dealers in who can value coins.”

Might be worth a look and seeing if there’s anyone near you.
