I would rather use the word fortunately there! There are only 2 types of current circulating coins in England at the minute that as far as i understand have not appeared in a proof or UNC set, hopefully they haven't. I know what they are and i find one every now and again though it really is every now and again. Sure millions of them were minted but all of them went straight into circulation and thus hopefully they'll all get battered to kingdom come and my nice VF example with bagmarks will be worth a couple of hundred in the next 70 odd or so years... 
If only!
