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.

How much coin is in circulation in the US?

No one keeps an exact count of coins in circulation because their usage is too wide and too diffuse. However, the U.S. Mint does provide figures for how many coins are minted each year, but those numbers don't account for how many older coins are lost, stolen, melted, exported, etc., which of course reduces the total in circulation.
