Is It Rare? Let’s Talk Numbers
Here’s the fun part: the 2015 First World War coin isn’t super rare, but it’s not common, either. The Royal Mint minted about 5 million of them. That sounds like a lot, until you realize there are billions of regular £2 coins out there.
So, finding one in your pocket is like finding a four-leaf clover in a field of grass. It’s not a unicorn, but it’ll make your day a little brighter. Check your change jar—seriously, go do it now.
If you want one, eBay is your friend. Prices range from about $5 to $15, depending on condition. That’s cheaper than a movie ticket, and way more educational.
