<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiftypee, post: 1112912, member: 4700&quot;]I was in England for the whole year in 1998, and I remember that they had a majority of reduced size 50p coins in circulation.&nbsp; I remember getting a really dark and dirty non reduced 50p coin in change once.&nbsp; I put it toward a card or something.&nbsp; That was the last and only large 50p coin I ever got during that year I was there.&nbsp; As far as I remember they demonitized the large coin in February, as I remember seeing it in the newspaper at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got my first two pound coins from the bank late that year too, but spent them at a Burger King.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t seem to be very common at all then, even though they were dated 1997.&nbsp; When I spent them the cashier didn&#039;t have a spot to put them in her till, and she was frustrated.&nbsp; I assume they are quite common now in change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
