We’re at Westquay in Southampton from 9am to 7pm on the 19th October for our next Live Coin Swap.
Join us there and swap ANY 50p coin for one of the brand new 2019 Paddington 50ps in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
These coins have only recently been released, so this is your chance to get your hands one in superior quality for just face value.

Can I swap more than one coin?
Such is the popularity of our Live Coin Swaps and to ensure that it is fair for everybody, we’ll be limiting the number of swaps to strictly 1 coin per person.
Will you be doing any more Live Coin Swaps?
That’s the plan!
We will be holding more Live Coin Swaps in the future and the plan is to visit a different area of the country each time, giving as many people as possible the opportunity to attend.
We look forward to seeing you there!
