Not forgetting the news history of this very site. Some good information on there. A compilation of news over the years since this site started in 2007 year. Including reference to a coin site named Cypraea - have you heard of it? No? Well it was the original name of Numista.
The future news will include the 30,000 milestone in a year or two - there are 25,631 coins on here today. Number of members today is 13,387 - so getting towards 15,000 figure, and they are from 144 countries so nearly 150 count. And the five-year site anniversary - next month.
P.S. Anyone creating a coin page recently may have seen that the numbers in the link are nearly at 30,000 already. But that is the number of pages created since March 2007, and about 4,000 of those have been deleted due to errors or duplications. Today the latest is this one - number 29,293 ...

I thought for a moment new UK coins were going to be issued - I read the title as 'British pound set to launch' but it is Bristol not British - must get my eyes tested. Even so, I then wondered what the coins would look like, but reading the article I see no mention of them, just banknotes, i.e. "The notes feature symbols of local pride, from 19th century religious writer Hannah More to the Concorde aircraft, partly developed in Bristol, and images of the St Paul's Carnival Caribbean street festival."

While on that site above, I saw a link 'Olympic 50p Swap Centre'.
http://www.westminstercollection.com/olympic-50p-swap-centre.aspx
They do not do the swaps themselves, but ' You will then be able to search for collectors who are able to swap with you '. Below I split the long page with all 29 coins into two images ...
The third image is on the same page, and on the blue bar when 'Coins' is hovered over it shows what else they sell. Including coins for U.S.A., Canada, Australia, China, as well as British Isles.

Did not take them long; after ordering the above Poppy coin yesterday, I now today (Remembrance Day) got an email from The Westminster Collection announcing : 'Today we are releasing details of the new British Army Official Commemoratives. Struck to honour our former and current soldiers.'
They do not say the face value (perhaps £5 again, like the Poppy) or the issuing country, but are offering both coins for £19.99 together (in a 2 for 1 offer).

This one is not really news, and not about coins, but I have for ages (44 years) been trying to remember which country it was that had to dismiss the designer of a new banknote, as the leaves of the palm trees were made to look like they spelled out SEX in the way they were drawn on the note !
http://www.pjsymes.com.au/articles/oddities.htm
I either read about it in a newspaper or saw it on television - and now I find it was a 1968 Seychelles 50 Rupee note with Queen Elizabeth II on it. Despite all that it was not decided to redesign the note !?
That link has other banknote errors on there. Interesting read.

The poppy coin arrived on Monday, but could not take pictures until today. Too dark when I leave in the morning and when I get back. It comes in a velvet plastic wallet, and a capsule inside ...
Not sure how long the £5 coin for £5 offer lasts for. The Jubilee one from the Royal Mint has already ended, and now costs more.

I know not a coin, but today I heard on the radio that in 2016 there will be a new £5 note issued in the U.K. - it will bear the image of Winston Churchill in front of the Houses of Parliament. Shows how far ahead the Bank of England plan these things!

Today it was announced in UK that the Royal Mint have released the first-ever twenty pound coin. Very limited issue of only a quarter of a million. In future other £20 designs will be released, and today's has George and Dragon on it, as shown above.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2412091/Royal-Mint-releases-20-coin-Features-classic-St-George-Dragon-design.html
Additionally, it is .999 silver and only available direct from the Royal Mint. Their product code is UK13FVS and right now it is pre-order only, for shipment starting end of next month. Limited to three per household and UK orders only. No details if or when a circulation coin will also be made, just this silver coin for now.
Best part it is their occasional offer like the £5 coin for £5 they had a while ago, as this is a £20 coin for £20 - they do charge £5 for registered post when one or two coins are ordered, but if over £45 spent i.e. three ordered (like I did, the maximum of 3 coins, for family) then postage is free.

As mentioned above, the Jersey £5 coin 1953-2013 has been released. Mine arrived today (a few days late) and it was on a card, and a velvet pouch supplied with it. I can not work out what they were thinking - they actually GLUED the coin to the card.
Took me ages to gently unpick the hot melt glue they used from the coin, being careful to not touch the coin directly and holding it by the edge using a tissue. I think I got it all; surely it does not cost much to send in a plastic capsule - makes me wonder how the 2013 poppy coin will arrive (I am sure last years one did not get glued to a decorative card).

I only today saw this article; but it is from 1 June 2012
In the UK the Royal Mint released a gold coin with face value one thousand pounds. Weight one kilogram and diameter 100 millimetres, with 60 gold £1,000 coins minted. They also issued a silver version with the same design and size and weight, but face value £500 and 1,250 minted.
The coins 'feature the Royal Coat of Arms that grace the gates of Buckingham Palace, depicted in astonishing detail by the master sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley'.

The Royal Mint in the UK announces the second issue of a silver £20 coin.
The first issue has sold out. The second issue will be released in a few months, and will be struck to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War. Perhaps it will also be a £20 for £20 offer.
No images of the reverse design for it yet on there; and on the same page is a link for the 2017 new design £1 coin - the bi-metal 12-sided type.
