    We saved £2 coins for years. Was well over £2000 worth when we took them to the bank. Never knew there was edition coins. Got quite a few hundred quids worth in a bottle now in the cupboard. Think I'll go check them now.

    Every now and again I get recommended something out of the ordinary. Last time it was "The lock picking lawyer" and I am still addicted to his channel. I suspect this one may be similar.

      First: Go to Britain if not already
      Second: go to a bank and get a small amount of coins
      Third: slowly increase the value of the order
      Fourth: then you have a bag of £500 in £2
      And done!

      @simonshepheard1877 3 года назад

      I noticed that too, at 5.38 on the video when he lines up 'standing' you can see both the '+" signs just to the left...they are not in the same place on the rims. I don't know anything about coins, so I am not sure if this is significant, but it certainly looked different to me.

    When I was growing up in the sixties you could pick a lot of coins out of your change, even 60's Lizzie II coins...the prooflike 1961 half crown for one. It was a way to get into coin collecting and make a few pounds . The two pound coin which he thinks is strange is a copy...from a mile off !

    Hi; Very interesting. I decided to collect £2 coins when I found 3 different ones in my pocket about a month ago. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across your RUclips channel. can I ask you a cupel of daft questions, when did the £2 coin first cum out, and wear do you get all of your coins from, that you sort through ? Keep up the good work, all the best, BOB.

    I think your 2015 coin might be a die proofing coin. These are used to check dies before using them, but the coins are not washed or tumbled after they are struck.

    I think I have a very rare error £2 coin in my collection I think it’s the first of its kind.
    The last two digits of the year are printed on but they look a bit off and if you look at from a angle you can see that they aren’t printed properly also if you run your finger across them you can’t feel them as if they aren’t printed.
    I also have another £2 coin which I like too call the queen wiv a booger Cose the queen head has extra dye on the nose.
