Triathlon Olympic 50p!

[stfc11]

My sister is collecting the Olympic 50 pence coins, she has 28 out of the 29 and needs one more to complete her collection which is the Triathlon one, which she has been searching for, for 5 months. If people could check their change and see if they have one she would be over the moon! I know it's a bit sad  but you would not believe how bloody frustrating it is looking for the last one (the whole family have been roped into finding it!) If anyone does happen to have one I'd been happy to meet you at a game and swap a 'normal' 50p for the Olympic one! And if anyone else does happen to be collecting them she has 18 duplicates!

If she is really desperate and doesn't want to wait another 5 months they sell on eBay for £2.50. She have to take a financial hit to complete her collection!

It's worth it. Never did send off to panini for those missing 1984 stickers.

Ask at every pub or shop you go to if you can have a quick rifle through their 50p's and swap it if you find it. We had a ton of people doing that over the past few months.

Obviously buy something as well, and try not to get in people's way or take up valuable time, otherwise you're just being a dick.

If I find one will she swap it for the 18 duplicates?  Not like she needs them.

Chuck a picture up of what one it is. I work in a bookies and see about 25 of these fuckers a day...

Thanks Crispy I really appreciate it!  It looks like this:



She is also looking for the London to Rio £2 coin, so if you happen to find that too that would be good! It looks like this:



She's managed to find or swap for all of the ones she has at the moment, so doesn't want to buy the last one, which is very frustrating! We've got a couple of friends who work in shops keeping an eye out, but so far have had no luck with these two.

As I handle a fair amount of change during the working day I'll keep an eye out at work too. Don't remember seeing any of either (and I'm sad enough to go "Oooh look, I haven't seen one of those before!"), but will keep me peepers peeled.

Thanks Honkytonk!

not worth the financial hit then!
