Need coins!

Postby jmbradbury1 » Jul 30th, '09, 14:05



Hey

Just a quick question really...does anybody know where I could get some American half-dollar coins or similar sized coins within the UK? I've been told that the foreign exchange only give out notes :(

Coin dealers. Or ask a favour of an American friend.

Don't.

Go to a coin dealer.

Google it in your town.

A magic dealer marks up coins by a gajamillion nanillion %

Mike Danata sells them so if you get stuck or want to compare, give Mike a call.
