Everything is dependant for Me on the size of the coin.
If it is the same size and weight as a normal 2c then Yes I will probably get one, If it is some other size then NO thank you :ok:
The timing is all wrong as well this should have been a part of the 50th celebrations, Not just issued on some other random year because the 1 and 2 cent coins are no longer used.
