The Two Pence coin is a necessary part of the coinage of Great Britain. They reduce the demand on One Penny coins, they are not twice the size of One Penny coins and, at present, they are cheap to produce.

The minute the Royal Mint perceives that they are no longer necessary, they will be withdrawn from circulation.
