∙ 12y agoThe Royal Mint did not produce a 2 Pence coin for general circulation in 1982.
They did produce a 2 Pence coin as part of a Royal Mint set and a Proof FDC coin also as part of a Royal Mint set.
1982 was the year that the word "NEW" was to be dropped from all British Coins, but somebody used the wrong die at the Royal Mint and some of the 1982 mint uncirculated and Proof FDC coins have the word "NEW" on them. These "mule" coins are quite valuable if you can get hold of one.
