New £2 Coins

The Royal Mint has issued two new £2 coins to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the London Underground. At first they will only be given as change in ticket machines at selected Tube stations, but later will go into general circulation (CLICK). Collectors may lash out £1,000 on gold ones! Also the Queen’s sovereign - a beautiful coin showing Saint George - is celebrating its 60th birthday (CLICK).
