Rejected petition Insure that all legal tender coins that are minted go into general circulation.
Rejected on
I started collecting the various different design legal tender UK coins earlier this year (£2, 50p & 10p). I've since found many of the designs never ever enter general circulation so the only way to get them is buy them at many times there face value. This is wrong - all coins should be released!
If you look at apps that show every current legal tender UK coin you will see many that have never been released into general circulation - such as £5 coins - I never even knew they existed until the change checker app showed me. Furthermore many £2 and 50p coin designs never go into general circulation yet all can be bought (over face value) from subsidiaries of the Royal Mint like The Westminster Collection. IT'S WRONG!

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This would be a commercial decision for Royal Mint Ltd.
