Check your change!

Budding numismatics (that's coin collectors to you and me) take note- last week I came across 2013 coins in circulation in Hereford. During a night out sampling the joys of beer gardens along Commercial Road I came across a 2013 10p piece in my change- this was the first 2013 coin that I have come across in general circulation.
My interest in such things was ignited during the 2012 London Olympics when 29 different 50p were introduced, which I am pleased to say I have the complete collection.

If you want to find out more then I suggest that you check out the Royal Mint website, below are a few links:

• Royal Mint home page
• Royal Mint- coin designs and specifications
• Royal Mint- London 2012 coins

...and if you come across any unusual/rare coins in your change then let us know
