-thinks they look tacky-

i want hunger games 50p coins

Look quite nice

Tough

7 sides seems unnatural. I don't like heptagons.

They look great think i'll just collect them rather then spend them they will be worth loads after a while

I think we need new coins full stop, not just for the Olympics.

they'd look nicer without that trainwreck of a logo.

Numismatists all over the world will be moist with excitement

Anything that commemorates the Olympics will be worth money one day. It's been 64 years since the last time it was in London, and I doubt we'll ever be awarded it again.

How do you go about getting all 29 of them?

You need to Travel abroad more

Banks would have them.

I had one of those Olympic £5 coins the other day. It was the size of Pluto.

I'm guessing by chance. A lady I work with collected them and made us all check our takings for the Olympic 50p's, luckily she has them all now so I don't have to check each time.

Its the Thin Coin,
they should have used the older thicker coin.

Most Post Offices are selling them.

How much do they cost? :suspect:

:laugh:

Imagine if its like £1 each

why?

I like em !

They look mint...geddit?....

Royal Mint is bringing out a commemorative set of all of them for the dedicated collectors at the bargain price of £1,350.00 for the solid silver one or £89.50 for standard ones.

I've just ordered the new Jubiliee Crown from them this morning. That's something else that will be worth a bit one day. Only the second Golden Jubilee of a sovereign in all of our history.

Lmfao. Selling £14.50 worth of material for £89.50. Priceless. Well, pricey but priceless.
