I don’t really have any desire for collecting things, except commemorative 50p coins. Not really sure why but the Mint here often puts quite cool designs to commemorate or celebrate things (2012 Olympics, authors, inventions etc), and I really like the black hole coin design. To commemorate the life of Stephen Hawking and I think it’s quite cool.
I’ve never bought a coin in my life as I’ve never really seen the point in buying something over the stated value literally printed on the thing, but this is the only one I’ve potentially thought about buying. Unlikely to get one in general circulation.
Anyone else collect coins from their country and got any examples of cool designs?
