Got some 2004 Entente cordiale ones today at the Post Office. Too lazy to do scans.... -- Kaihsu 19:28, 2004 May 7 (UTC)
Got one of the Nelson ones today - I'll scan it if I get a chance in the next couple of weeks. Shimgray | talk | 17:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
I remember seeing £2, £3 and £5 coins on sale in a post office commemorating euro '96... The £2 coins looked as they do now, the £3 and £5 were similiarly fashioned, with the gold and silver mix. Also, i think they had some pictures of footballs on. 82.46.179.159 03:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
There was never a £3 coin and neither was there a £5 coin commemorating Euro '96. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.186.34.35 ( talk) 16:03, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Going from the descriptions, the reverse of the 2000 coin is exactly the same as the 1999 one, so I'v used the 1999 image for it. Also it seems the only difference on the obverse is the date, which would make it identical to that of the Queen Mother's Birthday coin.
Does anyone object to me cheating a bit and presenting
this image again as being the 2000 version of the Millenium coin?

Should there perhaps be some info on the 2006 version that will be celebrating the 80th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth II? ( Darien Shields 19:24, 22 November 2005 (UTC))
I got one of these at the Post Office today, and I've updated as much as I could (I'm not a coin expert, I'm afraid!), but there isn't anything on the Royal Mint site, so no pictures. Here are some rather blurred pictures I took of the one I got. Flick 217.146.126.149 13:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

The circulation version of the coin appears to have a plain milled edge as opposed to being like the collector crown. In addition all the examples I have seen are of quite a low quality. Lacking detail and having a lot of blemishes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.111.162.127 ( talk) 21:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
The text states that "most retailers will refuse to accept them". I'm not so sure this should be in there. I acquired 18 of the 2007 issues, I spent 16 of them and was refused on only two occasions. Most of the time the recipients take a second or two to look at them out of interest but accept them quite happily. 86.111.162.127 ( talk) 22:19, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Some years ago I also had five five-pound coins (offered by a credit card company for 25 pounds) and spent 4 successfully at various retailers, keeping one for curiosity value.
There has been some media comment some years ago that due to the then relative scarcity of £5 notes there was evidence of £5 coins starting to circulate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.84.92 ( talk) 01:07, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
The 2007 obverse description currently says:
Is this quite accurate? It's a double head, and the Queen's head looks different from the usual IRB head. -- PalaceGuard008 ( Talk) 03:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Accoring to the Royal Mint website [1] it is indeed a Rank-Broadley obverse. 86.111.162.127 ( talk) 16:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
We need to format this table a bit better. The way the images are done does not scale well. Perhaps it should be updated to be more like the two pound coin page. -- Delta-NC ( talk) 02:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
There needs to be mention made in this list of the third and fourth in the 'Countdown to 2012' coins issued in 2011 and 2012 respectively. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.186.34.35 ( talk) 15:59, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Is anybody interested in getting photographs of the coins to put in the table? I'd be happy to contribute photos of the coins I possess. Kelly elf ( talk) 14:26, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
What it the first sentence of the "Criticism" section supposed to mean?
While the coins being stopped on 16 January 2020 (because of COVID-19), the number of commemorative £5 coins has been criticised in some quarters.
I don't think it was written by an English speaker. The only citation is at the end of the paragraph, which is a physical book from 2019, so I doubt it will be illuminating as that's from before COVID.

It seems to me this should be moved to five pounds or, possibly, five pounds (coin). Whilst entities such as Jersey have issued five pound coins, this is the primary topic. It might need a parenthetical due to the five pound banknote. Wehwalt ( talk) 15:58, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
