How many British 1983 2 Pence coins with New Pence were minted?
The only British 2 Pence coins minted in 1983 were minted for either Mint Uncirculated or Proof coin sets. A total of 631,000 British 2 Pence coins were minted for the Mint Uncirculated coin sets. The "Mule" (2 New Pence instead of Two Pence) coins were included in sets packed by the Royal Mint for the "Martini and Heinz presentation sets", and not all sets included the "Mule" 2 Pence coin. No "Mule" coins were included in any of the Royal Mint sets. Nobody has ventured a specific quantity of coins that were minted, but rather the vague "some" or "a quantity". For want of a better answer, a number very significantly less than 631,000 of the 1983 "mule" 2 New Pence coins were minted.
What 1941 British coins were minted?
None. The last circulating British coins to contain any silver were dated 1946. From 1947 onwards, all circulating British "silver" coins were made from a copper-nickel alloy. The Maundy coins continue to be made from sterling silver.
Are there any valuable British 10 Pence coins?
The smaller post-1991 10 Pence coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 10 Pence. The larger pre-1993 10 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1993. So, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value. A 10 Pence coin may have some value if you find one with a genuine minting error. These "error coins" tend to turn up from time to time.

How many pennies in a pence?
"pence" is simply the plural of penny in the British system and is used for any multiple of coins worth 2p or more. However "pennies" refers to a group of one-penny coins. The usage is a bit strange. If you have 10 one-penny coins, you have 10 pennies that are worth 10 pence! If you had one 10p coin, it's said to be worth 10 pence.
What is the reason for having a 10 Pence coin in the currency?
The Royal Mint advises that all general circulation British coins have a purpose. Coins cost too much to produce to have useless coins in the currency, which is one reason why the Half Penny coin is no longer in use. Each higher denomination coin reduces the need to carry larger quantities of smaller denomination coins. Without the 10 Pence coin, you might need to carry 10 Pennies, 5 x 2 Pence coins or 2 x 5 Pence coins, or a combination of any and all. The stated reason for the introduction of the 20 Pence coin was to close the gap between the 10 Pence and 50 Pence coins.
