Thank you for answering my quetion. I nearly fell of my chair when you mentioned my name it wasn't meant to sound like a question I was just saying it seemed that every time I've watched your 2 pound videos you find a rugby 1999 coin. But thanks again for answering
Love the videos, informative and very chillout. I've been collecting coins in a very random way since a kid, partly because my dad worked in mungo and shoddy ( look it up ) and the machinery spat any coins out that people left in the clothes, so he brought them home, and my mum was an old folks warden, so as a kid going on her round with her, the elderly folk used to give the quiet kid, old coins as he was interested in their stories of long ago. Going on from that, I used to hoard coins I knew were going out of circulation, the first being the half pence coins ( yes I am that old! ), and as an adult apart from whatever comes my way in normal change, and my wife has always worked in retail so will see odd coins and knowing I collect, will swap any she sees for the relevant coin. My favourite being when she brought home one, saying ''I found a 50P I think it a helter skelter''. So that helter skelter turned out to be my only Kew Gardens so far. Love her.
I find it weird that coins like that St Helena stay in circulation for so long. 8 years that's been floating around and nobody thought to keep it - I know I would have. Unless of course it's somebody who's just come back from holiday to St Helena or Ascension with a pocket full of them. Like all these coins with great histories though, we will never know...
I once found a UK 1p in change at a sandwich shop in Washington DC. It isn't even the same size as a US 1 cent... and nobody else noticed or cared. Canadian coins often float around in the US. The denominations are the same, but they're all slightly different sizes, too. Whatever, they usually work!
@@johnchastain5657 Techanically territory coins like the Helena 10p coin in the video should never show up in change since its not actually legal tender but people either don't know this, don't care or don't notice and the people who collect will do just that and take it. I got given a 2006 Baliwick of Jersey £2 in the job I work and I pocketed it straight away and put £2 of my own back in the cash tray in its place.
Quote of the hunt: “A Dolphin 🐬 is a cross breed of an animal and boat 🚤 cus it swims in the water” that had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣 If you decide to put together a out-take compilation video you’ll definitely have to include that. 😊 Back to the hunt and what a cracking find Great stuff Christopher 👍🏻
Christopher, I have a burning question to which I've never been able to find a straight answer and maybe you know: I know the decimal halfpenny and large 5p/10p/50p coins have technically been demonetized, but could you theoretically take them to a bank and cash them in for their face value? What about old round pounds?
i found a 10p today, but not a special alphabet one sadly. also its good you havent got brothers or sisters who might try and steal some of ur coins to spend them. if you did, would you keep a lock on ur door or something?

The really valuable coins are the 720° rotation errors
I noticed this too. 360°? But... 🤨 Uh? 😂
Very nice find! St Helena & Ascension 10p! I have one from 2006 in my collection. Interesting that they still use the RDM portrait on their coins.

@@gravemind6536 Hey, it's all imaginary money, right? ;) If it's rare or interesting keep it.
Lots of animals on the coins in St Helena/Asi, the best is definitely the 5p!
I do like that 10p Dolphin coin👌👍
Great video Christopher and love the St Helena & Ascension 10p!

Back to the hunt and what a cracking find
Great stuff Christopher 👍🏻
( I have already asked this question but I forgot to mention it was for the Q&A) Do you keep your world coins in an album?
do you have any 20p with no date on them?? if not would you try and find it?
