Favourite COIN

[Scotty Mac]

i am torn between the £2, for its two-tone colour and general flairness, and the 20p, which is very underrated in my opinion - 5 of them gives you a £1, and they are generally the most useful coin, as well as being of an interesting shape

See I like the dual-colour effect of the £2 coin but it's ruined for me by the weird design they put on the side that isn't the queen - it looks rank!

The 1797 'cartwheel' twopenny piece.

£2 coin because it's of the most value!

20p's are a bit fairy like though, should get stuck in and be 'ard. Much like Robinson, should be good, but really isnt much use. You cant even get in the bogs at Victoria anymore with 20p!!!

They get you about 15 seconds in a phone box, not that anyone uses them, and have you ever heard of a 20p shop? No, thats why the POUND wins


As for the £2 coin, that can piss off for trying to look like a EURO!!

 

[mr sheen]

the 20p for me. 5p is undoubtedly the worst, tinpot f***ing coin

 

[Djmiles]

£2 is the best, and have to agree with the person above, 5p's are the worst. Too small

 

[CHAPPERS]

I like 2ps.

Big, bold and brassy but in the end worth f*** all.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

The trusty nugget, has to be.

Bit like Jade Goody really.

agreed - they are so hard to find once in a wallet, and are the EASIEST for slipping into the lining of a coat. although having said that, without them there would be a PLETHORA of 1p's and 2p's floating around, so they do do a job

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

20p's are usually the most useful when SCAVENGING cos you only need several to buy you some damn tasty TREATS

 

[Scott29]

£1. Chunky and looks the best and its just the right size unlike the £2 coin which is too big and looks stupid!

£1!!!!

 

[Adam Virgo's Shirt]

£2 cos I always feel a little jolt of excitement when I find one in my purse!

I hate 5p! Way too small!!!

 

[Cian]

Of your ones, the £1. Feels like money - not too thin, not to light - and not so rare as to be pointless like the £2.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

SCUM !

£2 coin gets my vote - worth the most and looks smart.

Charming. Here is a lovely German euro coin

 

[Easy 10]

£2 coins are MINT

(I can't BELIEVE this thread has gone so long without that rather weak pun being added. This place is going to the DOGS).

I know commemorative coins are banned, but just wanted to mention my Euro '96 commemorative £2 coin. Would probably take some convincing to get a shopkeeper to accept it, not that I'm going to spend it, and they're worth double on eB*y :yahoo:

 

[Scotty Mac]

i dont understand where all of this £2 coins are RARE has come from

there seem to be LOADS around the cheltenham area - or am i just in a £2 HOTSPOT?

 

[CHAPPERS]

FIY Scott, I think this is an excellent poll topic.
