trig42:BigHammer: I think that's the intention. Like the millennium ten dollar notes. I think there were one and a half million printed.
I've never seen a Millenium $10 note (I think anyway), so they may now be worth a bit.
Coins last a lot longer than notes, so I agree, these 50c coins are never going to worth a lot more than 50c.
They sure do. Some guy in the UK with a metal detector dug up over 5000 Saxon coins that had been in the ground for almost 1000 years just a couple of days ago near where I grew up!
