What’s always puzzled me is who decided how much money should be in the world?
In the beginning there was no money, now there is loads, it must have increased gradually so who decides? And how?
Surely banks/ governments/ countries can’t just produce banknotes as they feel like it?
I know the turnaround of money keeps economy’s going but who “owns” the actual money!
Also, with the pandemic meaning companies/businesses are starved of income then surely those not spending it are a lot better off?
Just puzzling!

I am not aware of any misprinted Florence Nightingale £2 coins. 6,175,000 of these coins were minted so they are relatively common. I do hope you are not looking at the so called error coin on eBay. Currently going for £120.Willthiswork wrote:Got a Florence Nightingale £2 coin today, not seen them before. Looked on-line and if it is true, I have one of the rare misprinted ones.

The seller is advertising this coin as;
‘dots do not go all around the Queens head’ and
‘Edge writing is upside down’
The dots issue is a common event. It is part of a printing issue where the coin is not centred to the die correctly. It adds no real value to the coin.
The edge writing upside down is complete BS.
Edge writing is a completely random process as the writing is struck on the blank before the metal even goes to the final press.
Please do not be fooled.
Nice one. That’s a relatively scarce coin, well worth keeping. It’s 9th on the change checker scarcity index. Don’t know if you are aware, but if you are getting into this, you can get dedicated pictured albums to keep the coins in. Keeps them from getting any further damage as well.neilcork68 wrote:I got a 2011 King James Bible £2coin in my change from my takeaway last night
Just checked, less than 1,000,000 in circulation...... Worth about £5. Not that I intend to sell now I'm getting into this

How many of the 37 £2 coins do you have?
The Cardiff one is one of the four Capital city coins in the old £1 coin set. There are 24 coins in all of the older £1. Luckily I have 2 sets. Now, if you can find the Edinburgh one, that is something. It is the rarest of the old £1 coins.neilcork68 wrote:I got a 'Wheelchair Rugby' and 'Boxing' 50p coins in my change yesterday
I see they are quite rare...( 9th and 25th on the list)
I also found an old style 'Cardiff' and Rose and Oak' style £1 coins in one of my change jars...I see they are rising in value on Ebay
