<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tonyclayton, post: 1470226, member: 4029&quot;]Another point.&nbsp; Weighing UK coins do not help as their weight does not change when the metal changes.&nbsp; UK banks check bags of coin by weighing them.&nbsp; The only exception is with the two pound coin, which became much thinner when they switched from nickel brass to bimetallic in 1997.&nbsp; Deliberate weight reduction when the 5p, 10p and 50p were made smaller is a different matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>A pile of 10 copper clad steel 2p coins is higher than one with 10 bronze 2p coins.&nbsp; This is quite different from the US situation where the coin dimensions are kept the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
