<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2992412, member: 40017&quot;]On previous form they will be in circulation but in sufficiently low numbers to drive the collectors into buying the scarcer ones from the RM at grossly inflated prices. It is a well tried marketing strategy, which has been used in coins for a while and was superbly evidenced by the Beanie-baby craze of 20 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they are packeted only, I will leave them alone as I have given up handing large sums to the RM for the sake of it. If they are in circulation I don&#039;t think I will be able to resist putting one of each letter aside - after all, that is what collecting is all about! (The opportunity to make up words using them is bound to appeal to the younger collectors too.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t believe there any any pictures of them out yet but some visitors to the Mint in Llantrisant have been shown examples by staff there, so I expect they will start appearing soon. As to design - I hope they are good.</p><p><br /></p><p>The references to Richard Scarry and the Lowly Worm went completely over my head - some one please explain?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
