I would say that the 2008 Brittania 50p with just 700,000 minted.

They are out there in circulation as I currently have 3 examples.

Would say that it's pretty rare I should have said, but can't edit. =/

I agree, they're pretty hard to find. Mind you, I've got about 5 or 6 of the 1988 pound coin.

Ooh, what about that 1908 Olympic Games 2008 £2 coin. Only 910,000 minted of them and I've only ever seen one...

I've never, ever seen this one though which is a 2008 issue again:

The rarest coin in circulation has got to be that of a Scotsmans, right? ;-)

Nah. Any coin that ever came into the possession of Rod Stewart ... though that may amount to the same thing? :lol:

I think the only 'coin' that Rod Stewart owns that he won't be giving away any time soon is a Penny... as in Penny Lancaster-Stewart =p
