<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 7737808, member: 40017&quot;]I think the message was that they would not be minting anymore £2 coins for circulation for the foreseeable future, because they have built up such a stockpile that they need no more for something like 20 years! It has been noticeable that older issues from 2016 have been appearing virtually Uncirculated into circulation recently, so I suspect that is some of the old stock coming out.</p><p>The 2021 2p has certainly been release this year, but that has been the first new small denomination since 2017. They have reverted to making/releasing as required only. </p><p>Of course there is a bigger debate as to whether the 1p and 2p are viable in the modern age, or indeed if we should surrender to a cashless society! I hope not - not only does it seriously disadvantage the less well off, it means &quot;big brother&quot; has yet another means of spying on us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
