Where to buy coins

[Jonboy_t]

It's out 7 year wedding anniversary in a few weeks and I'm trying to track down some 1p coins from specific years to make something for the good lady.

We've got a coin jar and I've managed to find one of the years in there, but the rest are elusive. My GoogleFu is also letting me down with this and I can only seem to find super-expensive coins from the years, but I only want 1p's! I'm going to pop to the bank later on to see if they could help, but given the cashiers tend to feel aggrieved when you try to do the most basic of banking tasks, I'm highly doubtful they will take too kindly to such a specific question!

Any ideas? I'm after 1982&3, 2002,3,6,10 and 13.

I have 2 * 2002, 2 * 2003, 1 *N 2006, and 2 * 2010 in my little coin pile in my desk. Not sure where the rest of the piles are

Do you mean pre decimal currency penny coins?

No, as all the dates are post decimalisation.

Probably not, given the date of Decimalisation, and the production dates of the 1P coins the OP needs. *quickly scans for parrot*

I have 2* 1983 and 2* 2013

Visit an amusement arcade, and get I've pounds worth of penny coins

Just got back from working away all weekend to a wonderful little envelope with your coins in it! Thank you so much

Please let me know if you want anything for them. If not, I'll pass on the good karma next time I'm going past a charity bucket

If you could live without a couple of the 1983 ones, I would be forever grateful for them! Please PM me if that's OK

[randlemarcus]

Pay it forward next time. Good luck getting the rest of them

Have you tried " EBAY "

I thought you were taking the piss and then I found this. It says 3,498 sold, that's over 6k (incl postage) selling 35quid's worth of fking uncleaned, still-in-circulation pennies to internet people. The mind boggles

[red_slr]

Who the f*ck spends £1.79 on a normal 1p coin?

Seriously, that's just mental.

[red_slr]

As for the seller that's a lot of admin to deal with !

OP,

Fair play for coming up with an idea for getting free money from people

Are you missing any more? I've got a watering can full of 1p/2p coins, happy to post some if needed

[Dan_1981]

I'm doing something similar for the wife.

I need a £10 note from 2002, one from 2010 & one from 2016.

I'd also need a £50 note from 2013 & 2012

& x 4 £5 notes from this year.


Many thanks if anyone can help.

I'm still after a 1982 and a 1983 at the moment. Been working away for a few days so haven't had chance to try the good idea about the penny arcade yet though, but if you had either of those years, would be amazing!

Just for the record, this wasn't a veiled attempt to extort money (that's just a happy side effect )
