<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 2673752, member: 12789"]Both the RCM and BRM issue $20 and ₤20 coins at face value, but they have a nominal amount of silver and nobody will take them in commerce. People in Britain were buying them up on their charge cards to get points and then trying to cash the coins out in banks - which the banks balked at. As bad as it is to pay ta much for a 50p, a ₤20 coin that is not cashed out is a lot worse. At least in a pinch you can spend the 50p.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
