Try bank tellers. They often have rolls of new coins. Ask nicely. Trade a fiver for a few £2 coins. Check the dates.
Or check charity donation jars. People toss in coins without looking. I once found a 2015 Somme coin in a tip jar at a coffee shop. Cha-ching.
Just don’t spend it. You’ll regret it. These coins are only 6 years old, but they’re already becoming rarer than hen’s teeth.
Last Weird Fact: The Poppy Coin
In 2014, the Royal Mint also made a special poppy-themed £2 coin. It’s red enamel. It’s not part of the series, but it’s even more collectible. It was sold to raise money for veterans.
If you see a red-spotted coin in your change, keep it. That’s a £20 coin on eBay. Seriously.
