Anyone collect stamps? I do not (but will keep these anyway) and today I went to the Post Office to send an airmail letter. I saw a sheet of nice-looking stamps the cashier had and asked what they were. She said they were 1st class (£0.62) stamps released today - with a film theme. They are as shown ...

I got a leaflet in the post for a UK 12-piece 2014 coin set, but I thought there were only 9 coins usually; the 1p 2p 5p 10p 20p 50p and £1 £2 £5 issued. Then I read it and there are two 50p and £1 and £2 designs - the standard 50p and the Commonwealth Games 50p - the Scottish £1 and the Irish £1 designs - the 1914 World War £2 and the 1514 Trinity House £2 coin. So that solves that, and makes face value £12.38 total. The set has each coin issued in a tamper-proof protective capsule (individually numbered), and comes in a box with two trays of six coins per tray. And it is a limited issue, there will be 2,014 sets released, to match the year. They are Brilliant Uncirculated specimen coins, so not even Proof condition. The set price? £150 which makes me wonder where the £137.62 difference goes? Can also be bought in 5 interest-free monthly payments. It is called the Date Stamp set, and comes officially postmarked by the Royal Mail with the date 1st January 2014 - so I wonder have these been made eight months ago and not sold well?!

A tiny coin measuring 8mm across has been unveiled as the smallest created by the Royal Mint in nearly 1,000 years.
Available in gold or silver, the delicate coin weighs a 40th of an ounce and has been minted as part of a wider collection produced to celebrate Britannia, who first appeared on coins in Roman times.
The coin - the smallest the Mint has produced since the Norman Conquest in 1066 - is just under half the diameter of a 5p piece, which measures 1.8cm.
Just 9,650 of the gold coins have been minted and they are available to buy from the Royal Mint at £50. The silver coins are available as part of a set which costs £200, with 1,750 available.

I can order one for you; not sure though how much UK to Belgium postage would be. Up to a certain weight it is £1.52 so maybe that's it - depends on what packaging they use.
A while ago I ordered a coin for a member in France, and there was an option on the ordering page to select a delivery address other than my own; cannot remember whether that was the Royal Mint, Pobjoy Mint, or Westminster Collection (I am a member of all three sites). Then again the offer is £5 with free postage (so I guess that means UK to UK), so maybe they would charge extra for overseas postage, so may be better anyway for them to send it to me first, and I then send to you. Send me a PM with your details if you wish me to order one, Essor Prof.

Today, the managing director and mint master Maarten Brouwer of the Royal Dutch Mint has announced his resignation from the job. He is forced to do so because the financial situation of the mint has become a mess 
The mint would be facing bankruptcy if it weren't for the support of its single shareholder, the Dutch government.
The main cause of the financial problems is a fiasco with an order from the Chilean National Bank for 850,000,000 Chilean Pesos. First there was an issue packaging the coins and then the Chilean inspection rejected the coins because of 'oxidant spots', followed by a fine for underprestation.
Another cause is insufficient revenue from non-circulating legal tender commemoratives: this is a commercial activity of the RDM, for which they have to refund the nominal value of the coins to the Dutch state. But the cost-revenue balance of this activity is negative.
For who can read Dutch, or an automated translation, here's the article in today's Volkskrant:

The UK has issued their first colourised coin - to commemorate 150 years
of Beatrix Potter the Royal Mint have issued a 50 Pence with Peter Rabbit on.
My friend Tracey who brings sandwiches round the industrial estate where I work told me
this morning that she was online for two hours last night in a queue to get one; and
then found out they cost £55 so she did not order one!
I looked just now on their page (link below) and that is the price for the silver proof colourised version; the standard non-colourised coin is £10 which is a bit better.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/peter-rabbit-coins-are-sweet---but-its-beatrix-potter-who-deserv/
P.S. I can see why she had to wait - I am myself in a queue online even though I just want
information to put on here, and am number 579 (now down to 381) in their queue currently ...
Now I am on there and here are the standard coin images ...
and eventually there will be 3 other Beatrix Potter 50 Pence coins issued to make a 4-piece set.
Hopefully they will also be issued for circulation at some time. Maybe.

Someone told me that on the radio today was news about a new UK coin.
I assumed it was something being released, and looked to see what it
would be, but I think it was this ...
https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/production-begins-12-sided-1-230101329.html
which as it says on that link is starting production today, but released for circulation next year.
P.S. Further down that page it mentions the world's most expensive coin,
at over $10 million - the 1794 Flowing Hair silver dollar coin.

Citation: "ArnoV"Today, the managing director and mint master Maarten Brouwer of the Royal Dutch Mint has announced his resignation from the job. He is forced to do so because the financial situation of the mint has become a messOn November 5th, I shared the news that the Dutch mint master resigned from his job. This, by the way, is the reason that 2016 dated Dutch coins have a small star next to the sails privy mark: the star indicates that the particular coins were minted with an interim mint master in charge.
Today, the Dutch government announced that they are seriously 'reconsidering their financial position' in the RDM, which is a nice way to say that they want to get rid of it.
So, if you ever wanted to buy not just coins, but a complete mint, this might be your once in a life time opportunity!

Citation: "Camerinvs"I just clicked through a few of these and the first few have serial numbers that start with AK47 and a couple there start with AD42, which was the number for the USS Acadia, a US ship that was sunk off the coast of Guam for funsies.
Citation: "ZacUK"What?? Can someone explain what's going on here? I know there are gullible people, but that gullible? Or is it that they think it's priced in Zimbabwean dollars, not British pounds?

I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Citation: "MonaSeaclaid"I just clicked through a few of these and the first few have serial numbers that start with AK47 and a couple there start with AD42, which was the number for the USS Acadia, a US ship that was sunk off the coast of Guam for funsies.I didn't know about AD42, but I wondered whether the AK47 number was enough for this non-sense. Those morons will have the shock of their life when they try to sell those back for a profit.
I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
If I were to try to comfort the guy who paid £50,000 for a £5 note, I would tell him that he actually paid only £49,995.
Not sure he would like that very much. ₱o$₮ag€ $₮am₱$ a₹€ mo₹€ £€₲i₮ima₮€ a$ a ƒo₹m oƒ ¢u₹₹€nc¥ ₮ha₦ ₮h€ €₦₮i₹€ "¢oi₦" ₱₹odu¢₮io₦ oƒ ₦au₹u o₹ ₦iu€. ••• £€$ ₮im฿₹€$-₱o$₮€ $o₦₮ ₱£u$ £é₲i₮im€$ €₦ ₮a₦t qu'o฿j€₮$ mo₦é₮ai₹€$ qu€ £a ₱₹odu¢₮io₦ €₦₮iè₹€ d€ «mo₦₦ai€$» d€ ₦au₹u ou d€ ₦iu€.

Citation: "radrick007"But how can one "trick" eBay into doing that? If you just buy your own coin or bill with another account, you will still pay a commission to eBay, right?

I would expect eBay to be extremely sophisticated when it's time to protect the system against fools. When the customers' confidence goes, eBay goes.

Someone told me last week that the UK new £5 note shrinks if it is accidentally
left in a pocket when items put in a tumble dryer. These are in the news ...

Wow ─ I would pay at least £40,000 on eBay for a shrunk note! 
It looks like we have the same situation in Canada, but what do you expect? This is polymer. The only solution is to go back to metal for all currency.

Excuse the poor quality night-time pictures with artificial light.
Can make better ones tomorrow, if needed.
