    they did annual sets for most of the channel islands for much of the 1980s and 90s. I don't remember when they stopped, but the royal mint website doesn't mention them anymore.

    Eric I only collect them up until Decimalization but I know that the Islands now produce there own coins and I would think that you could still buy year sets

    Seems they do not issue such sets every year though. Some info regarding Jersey can be found here:
    http://www.gov.je/TreasuryResources/Jersey+Currency/default.htm
    Not sure about Guernsey; they do refer to the same company as Jersey though when it comes to collector coins ...
