Wanted Olympic 50 pences - Anyone save / swap 50p ?

[redstar]

As above request really, does anyone on here collect
stuff like this? Or is it just this saddo from ST16?

[Gramaisc]

I do have quite a few of the various seven-sided coins that have been issued, including a Gambian 1 Dalasi.

Probably not, I generally just keep one of each new variety that I happen to see.

Only a matter of time before crocodile wrestling is at least an Olympic demonstration sport - I might even watch that. Better still, pro-celebrity tag-team crocodile wrestling - a definite Saturday night TV ratings winner..

Have fencing, weightlifting and (what looks like) two man scull.

Swap for £1.50 of any denomination.

Hi Redstar, what swapsies do you have - my Mum is collecting them - will ask her what she has got to swap

 

[Withnail]

Probably easier if...

Football (may keep because, well you know)
Fencing
Archery
Hockey
Tennis
Karate? (Tae Kwon Do?) - martial arts of some sort anyway
Table tennis - aka Wiff Waff ( known in Ireland as Gwamaisc )
Sailing
Horsiness
Weightlifting
Judo (x2)
Cycling
2 man scull (x2)

= £7.50 to the unsentimental.

Or 2 1/2 pints to the broken hearted.

Steady on. The Sun is in enough twouble for taking the piss out of Woy.

That's as maybe, but they are being predictably simple, whereas mine was quite neat i thought...

 

[Withnail]

Also - i remember having trouble finding this thread some moments ago, i do believe we exchanged longing glances about it.

This time round i was proper sorted - guess how many threads include the phrase 'crocodile wrestling'? Good guess

Indeed, bilingual puns are not that common..

 

[Withnail]

To be quite frank i thought i deserved a 'like' for 'the pumps don't work because Randals took the handles' - and i sat on that for over a year.

Being pendantic, "Common back"! Isn't the queens head the front?

Speaking as a numasmatist of several year's standing, coins do not have 'fronts' or 'backs', they have obverses and reverses. So there.

Although, I would agree with you that the Queen's head is on the obverse side, not the reverse.

Also being pedantic, I'm sure that's a basket ball in the lap of the wheel chair rugby player!
