    Do we have to go back in time to before decimalisation to find all these UK coins that form the coat of arms? Or is this coin puzzle even true?

    This is the real deal, you can still buy the complete set from the Royal Mint...at least, you could about 6 months ago.

    I just put in an order for this year’s annual set, so here’s hoping they are still shipping!

    You can pick them up in pocket change everyday.

    Good grief, I've found them on the ground like litter. I think they are cool though.

    Alternatively, you can get the England, Scotland and Ireland coats of arms on one coin, with France and Orange-Nassau thrown in as a bonus

    Thanks for the offer, Saxon. I'll trade you a proof set of US coins if you can find me some undamaged versions of these six UK coins.

    No, Jamaica has its own coin issues, not this set.

    Nice coins but. That’s pocket change. My brother Charles just set me most of those just last month. He got them in change
