So it's been reported today that the Government commissioned 10 million Brexit 50 pence pieces to commemorate Brexit, with the date 31st October on them. With this now looking very unlikely to happen on this date,  if a few slip the net and find their way into circulation we might have a new 50 pence rarity.

Seriously - yes, that's a very good point.

Not quite sure what your link is supposed to be pointing at?

it's a download - I made the mistake of clicking it, but I've now trashed the download (wipes brow).

The download has a load of gobbledygook on it.

I guess they'll be incredibly scarce now then. R0 even :)

Nowhere near as rare as Brexit its self.  :D

What is "Brexit"?

I have no idea. Never heard of it.

I must have fallen asleep....

I'd expect the Royal Mint Museum and the British museum will end up with some... 

Given how common mint sports etc. are I imagine there are also quite a few in the possession of mint workers...
