That is probably an unanswerable question.

In the year 2005, the Royal Mint issued -

  • 2 Pound - 19,168,750 coins
  • 1 Pound - 99,429,500 coins
  • 50 Pence - 24,363,000 coins
  • 20 Pence - 81,356,250 coins
  • 10 Pence - 66,836,000 coins
  • 5 Pence - 236,212,000 coins
  • 2 Pence - 131,133,000 coins
  • 1 Penny - 378,752,000 coins

plus other Commemorative and Bullion coins.

If you can accept that the Royal Mint issues similar large quantities of coins every year, that they also withdraw coins that are damaged, have been replaced or are demonetised, and that people keep and collect coins, and this has been happening in Britain for hundreds of years - who knows?

The Royal Mint "estimates" that 27,827,000,000 British Coins were in circulation as at 31-Mar-2008.

I have no idea and, it will probably never be known, however, the Royal Mint produced more than 614,881,000 general circulation coins during the reign of Edward VII for use within Britain and the colonies and countries of the British Empire who used the British currency at the time. This figure does not include British coins minted at Mints other than the Royal Mint, non-general circulation coins such as gold Five Pound, Two Pound, Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins, Proof or especially struck coins, and it does not include coins minted at other mints for the use of other British Empire countries.

British general circulation Two Pound coins are made from a nickel-brass alloy.

What Australian coins were in circulation in 1891?

No Australian coins were in circulation in 1891. Australia got its first installment of coins from the Royal Mint in London in 1910, including the Threepence, Sixpence, Shilling and Florin. The Pennies and Halfpennies followed in 1911. Any coins circulating in Australian prior to 1910 would have been British coins. Many traders minted their own tokens for varying amounts, but these could only be used in the business bearing the name and address of the trader concerned.
