<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andyscouse, post: 1272914, member: 27100&quot;]I have heard that too.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the RM website, mintages for this 50p type are:</p><p><br /></p><p>2008 ... 22,747,000 </p><p><br /></p><p>2009 ... none </p><p><br /></p><p>2010 ... none </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>which could explain it. I must say, I was amazed that there weren&#039;t circulating versions of these for 2009/10, just commems (but then again, only 10,000 2009 Kew and 510,090 2010 Girl Guides -- now <b>those </b>are really <u><b><i>low </i></b></u>numbers!) Typical minatges for Britannia before the change seemed to be around 25 million per year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similar to the mere 3,487,000 1981 10p coins (I only ever found 4 or 5 of them myself in change), and just 682,103 1985 50p coins (around 3 or 4 in change, all heavily worn, as the 1985 portrait and lettering were in very low relief, fixed in 1986).</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe people are hoarding them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
