   Hi Adam
   You say the Rosalin Franklin coin will not be entering circulation, would you know or any one know just how many coins have NOT entered circulation and is there a list anywhere please.?.
   Thank you

     Hi Les, No £2s have entered circulation since the 2016 coins. The only 50ps to enter circulation since 2017 are Paddington, Representation of the People Act, 2018 Peter Rabbit, Flopsy Bunny, Tailor of Gloucester, Mrs Tittlemouse, Sherlock and Brexit. Hope that helps 🙂

   Getting a face value coin from the ballot is like winning the lottery. Got my name from when it started and so far NO CHANCE of getting any.

     Hi Carlos, thanks for the comment! Sorry that you haven’t won yet, I can confirm that 1,000 winners were randomly chosen to win the Rosalind Franklin BU 50p for face value. Fingers crossed you’re a winner next time!

     Hi Mark, sorry to hear that! With fewer coins going into circulation these days, we want to give collectors the chance to own future UK new issue coins for face value. You can find out more about entering our face value coin ballot here: https://www.westminstercollection.com/landing-pages/change-checker-face-value-coin-ballot.aspx

     Hope that helps! 🙂
