What can you do with the fifty pence coin which is not in circulation anymore?

Answer 1

Circulated 50 Pence coins are unlikely to have much value as a collectible. Keep them and give them to your Grand Children.

Some banks may exchange them on a one for one basis if you are an account holding customer, but they are under no obligation to do so.

Answer 2

The decimal New Half Penny and Half Penny coins were last issued for circulation in 1983 and were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in December 1984. 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.

About the only constructive thing you might do with them, is keep them for your grand children.

Answer 3

I believe you can still pay them into larger banks who will deposit the 10p's into your account. They then send the old money to be destroyed, just as they would with paper money that's past it's prime.

Answer 4

The larger 30mm diameter pre-1998 50 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1998, ie. they are no longer legal tender, you are stuck with them, unless they are in mint condition, in which case, you might get something for them as collectible coins.

The smaller 27.3mm coins you can take to a (British) bank if you are in the UK (or just spend them).

If you are not in the UK, consider selling them online since it is usually cost-prohibitive to send them to a currency exchange or spend them via mail.

Answer 5

The larger (30 mm) pre-1998 50 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1998. 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.

The smaller (27.3 mm) from 1997 onwards 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 50 Pence.

Answer 6

If it is in mint condition, you could sell it to a collector or a coin dealer. Alternatively, the Royal Mint will exchange it for a current coin of equal value.

Answer 7

yepper, it is still good money. You can use then at any store, but you will get people confused, better off going to any bank and asking to trade then in for paper money

Answer 8

If they are in good condition, you might sell them to a collector or a coin dealer.

Alternatively, you may like to give them to your kids, or their kids as a memento of the "old days".

Answer 9

Peace prosperity and friendship with all nations
