[QUOTE="tulipone, post: 2172184, member: 71656"]I'm not entirely sure why, if it is not issued with a view of circulating, they bother calling it any domination of euro and just have it as a struck commemorative. Does the appropriate mint 'charge' the money to the government for producing the money coin with the intention that money is pure profit less costs? I find it sad to see coins like the Churchills being sold off so cheaply - I don't own any but it feels wrong that our history is sold cheaply just as a souvenir. These coins, if not legal tender will follow into the vastly reduced commemorative bucket in the near future. As an after thought to the poster above, the war graves commission is the fall back in our wills. Every site we have visited has been well card for and a lovely memorial.[/QUOTE]
