Jeremy Fisher 50p Coin Swap now open!
At Change Checker HQ we are bursting with excitement, as we can now announce that our Jeremy Fisher 50p Coin Swap is officially open!
Following the buzz of the Beatrix Potter coins, we’ve made collecting the series a little easier by offering you the chance to add this fantastic Beatrix Potter coin to your collection with a fair and simple 50p for 50p swap!
The 2017 Jeremy Fisher 50p is the latest coin in the Beatrix Potter series to be released into circulation and, as you know, all too often the newest coins can often be the trickiest to get hold of…
But don’t despair, because we have managed to get our hands on 10,000 Jeremy Fisher 50p’s and we’re going to swap them ALL with Change Checkers.
As one of the most highly anticipated coin releases we’ve had, this swap is set to be one of busiest ever! So if you want to secure this coin, you’ll have to act fast!
Here’s how the swapping process works:
1) Choose THREE commemorative 50p coins that you would like to swap – these must be of a reasonable quality that you’d be happy to have in your collection
2) Complete our quick online form – we will email you a copy of this form to print out and send with your coins
3) Send us your completed form and 50p coin(s) (max. 3) in the post (remember to get proof of posting)
4) You’ll receive your 2017 Jeremy Fisher 50p(s) within 10 working days of posting your coins to us
It’s as easy as that!
Remember, only commemorative 50p coins can be swapped – the shield 50p and Britannia 50p cannot be accepted. Please also remember to obtain proof of postage from the Post Office – this will help us with any customer service queries should they arise.

UPDATED! Change Checkers vote for their favourite 2018 Paddington™ 50p coin!
The second coin in the 50p series that has gripped coin collectors across the nation has been released today and we’re incredibly excited to see this beautiful coin at Change Checker HQ. The coin completes the 2018 Paddington™ 50p collection that has been issued by The Royal Mint to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic bear.
We were delighted by the release of the first coin in June, as I’m sure many of you were too! And now the final coin in the series has been released and we can’t wait to see what you think about the design.
Both coins are incredibly detailed and were designed by David Knapton, based on the modern adaptation from the CGI-live action movie. The first coin shows the much-loved British bear sat on his suitcase at Paddington Station, while the second coin features the bear waving the Union Jack flag outside Buckingham Palace.
So now that both coins have been released, we’re delighted to hear your thoughts are on the design and find out which Paddington 50p is the favourite amongst Change Checkers…
Change Checkers have now voted and the favourite design by almost 100 votes is the Paddington at the Station coin!
But do you prefer the iconic image of the bear at the Station, or does the Great British landmark of Buckingham Palace appeal to you more? Let us know in the comments section.
Own the Complete 2018 Paddington Collection!
Now’s your chance to complete the 2018 Paddington 50p collection by owning both coins in Brilliant Uncirculated quality.

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.
Can I choose which A-Z of Great Britain 10p I swap?
It’s a lucky dip, so the coin you pick will be the coin you take away with you. Due to how popular we expect the event to be, I’m afraid we will be unable to offer specific A-Z 10p coin designs.
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!
