About

This site was made by me - Jack Burgess - a senior software engineer from the UK. I sometimes write about tech, so if you fancy, check out my website.

This is a site to help you collect circulating UK coins. I did it because I was very, very bored. I also wanted something (else) to collect! I normally only collect banknotes, but my coin club convinced me to get into coinage - and circulating coins are cheap!

This site is free to use - and will remain free to use, for as long as the hosting costs allow me to. It’s currently hosted on a free platform - CloudFlare Pages, if you’re wondering - so I don’t expect it to actually cost me anything for a seriously long time.

You should know some things about this site:

• I have to say it - you are using this site at your own risk, and I am not responsible if it clears the wrong coin from your collection. I use it exclusively for mine and my use, and have not had any problems.

• Does not include years where no general circulation coins produced (i.e. only proof/BU sets). These years are omitted entirely for brevity.

• Does not include commemorative/variations of 10p/50p/£2

• Does not include demonetised decimals:

  • 5p large variant (1985-1990)

  • 10p large variant (1968-1981)

  • 50p large variant (1969-1984)

  • £1 round pound

If you’re feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee (or buy me a coin) using the link. I make no guarantees I won’t spend it on a banknote!
