Wow you have some cool coins Steve, can't say I have one of them but think I have a couple with palms if they count

I've got a playboy bunny coin, does that count?
There's something on it I'd like for Christmas.

So, no one has any Christmas coins.

Nancy, I see lots of these coins have birds on them too.

Hmm... Just had a quick peek, they mostly look like Foreign versions of Granny Bait. How many of them would be real coins?

Ones with birds might be a little bit more attractive to me, but I don't reckon I'd pay more than FV for them, so although I know some of my Birdie coins are Granny Bait, I probably acquired them in a bulk deal or similar. :angel:

There is a lot, thanks.

Turns out I do have one:

Gibraltar 2009 50p Christmas

Many of the UK and IoM 50p looked very familiar, but I had a quick look and didn't find them. Probably got them stashed somewhere.

See, someone did have a coin. Just needed prompting.

Nancy, I think most of those coins are Granny bait, but you're probably a Granny, so it's OK for you to buy them.
