Guest Guest Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Hi,I have been battling with myself for years over this about what is my favourite British coin currently in circulation.Its a battle between:1. 50 pence coin (sacred coin!)2. £1 coin (so thick and hard, you can always feel it in your pocket)3. £2 coin (nice and bimetalic) Quote
Sylvester Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 No contest.Best by far is the £2 coin, or at least it is when it's not a commem.Second best is the 50p, that Britannia design is well thought out,Third would be the 20p.Fourth the 2p.Fifth the penny,Sixth £1 coin. They don't half wear bad for my liking.Last we have that ridiculous, evil 5p. Quote
Guest Dan Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 My fave is the £2 - reminds me of some kind of weird multicoloured florin!! Quote
CartwheelTwopence Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I love the £2; I thought they had got rid of the florin sized coin when the 10p was re-sized.Also like the 50p and 20p; they are easy to distinguish.Hate the £1 coin; it is too easy to fake and is too small for its value. Quote
CartwheelTwopence Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Also, coppers are too low value. Quote
Paulus Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Cartwheel, you are the king of resurrecting ancient topics! And why not! If I had to vote (don't really like any of them that much!), it would be the £2 coin, good size and some of the commems are attractive Quote
