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

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.

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.

[QUOTE=Marc;5032507]How do you go about getting all 29 of them?[/QUOTE

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.

Here's the link:

http://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/e...50p-collection

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.
