2016-Dated Coins Found in Circulation

Citação: "pcarey2003"​Hi Mark, nice one, first commemorative £2 coin found for a long time!!
​
​Quick suggestion though - should this not go in the 2015 dated coins found in circulation instead?
​

Citação: "Mark240590"​Hahaha yes it should ! I never even recognised :D

Citação: "January First-of-May"​Okay, another bit of clarification: in several shops I buy food at, I'm a regular enough customer that the cashiers know to save for me any unusual (mostly commemorative) coins they encounter.
​
​Do such coins count as "found in circulation"? If so, I can now report one 2016 coin - the Staraya Russa 10 rubles (this type) - and loads of assorted 2015 and 2014 coins I never thought of reporting previously (most of them acquired in 2015 or 2014).

​
​ Unless it has already been reported. My first 2016 coin !

Citação: "ZacUK"So still the standard
​2 Pence, 5 Pence, 20 Pence, £1 and £2 to find. Apart from commemoratives.

Citação: "el182592"​PS. If I put this scan in a Privat-Message han the picture is as great as it must be,
​But by putting it in this forom it is VERY small so nobody can see what it is!
​--> Why this difference??

Citação: "Jesse11"​Was in Canada today and received a 2016 25 cents coin in change.

Citação: "Mark240590"​I got my first UK 2p the other day and dropped it under the rail of the car seat. So I tried to push it out with my house key and it went under the carpet ! :(

Citação: "January First-of-May"​India 2 rupees 2016. Calcutta mint, I suppose, because I can't see any trace of a mintmark (but with that thing's typical abysmal strike it's hard to say).
​
​No, I did not suddenly switch countries (except in the dashboard sense - I'm currently in a different dashboard country, though it's still the same political country, and in any case not India). I saw the coin on a cash register, asked the cashier, and they were happy to sell it to me as the 2 rubles it was apparently originally passed off as (no, don't ask me how, I have no idea either).
​I don't think I've had an example of the new "rupee sign" type before, actually.

​At first I thought the cashier sold it to you well above face value; but i re-read it now as they took the 2 rubles which they were supposed to get in the first place. Not a bad deal!...Rs.2 is just marginally less than 2 rubles.
​When I was a kid in Bombay, my neighbour got a $1 singapore coin passed off as Rs5. He asked me what its worth and I told him (I think something like Rs35 to a SGD at the time). He then wanted to sell it to me. I said I'd give him the Rs5 he was supposed to get. Which he didn't accept. Just imagine a middle age man acting in such a shitty way towards a 12 year old kid (as I was at that time)!

Citação: "January First-of-May"​​ It was even funnier than that - I tried to give 5 rubles for it (it looked more like 5 ruble size to me anyway; Numista says the diameter is 25 mm, as compared to 23 mm for 2 rubles and 25 mm for 5 rubles), the cashier insisted on 2.

​I did end up giving the 5, then it turned out that we needed an extra plastic bag anyway, and the bag cost 3 rubles, and the cashier said she would give it for free to account to the "extra" 3 rubles I gave just before :-)
​It might have been a matter of balancing the ledger - I've heard of a few cases of passing out SBA dollars as quarters under similar grounds (an almost direct quote: "it came in as a quarter, so it's coming out as a quarter").
​
​I probably would also not have given the coin if I was in place of your neighbor, however. Sorry. (Unless perhaps I also needed to balance the ledger.)

​Well, I told him he could keep it. I had one for my collection anyways. I was quite amused because he was pretty much stuck with the coin unless he actually went to Singapore. ​Most exchange bureaus do not accept coins unless it's a relatively high value like a uk pound or Swiss 5Fr or Japan 500 yen.
​If ever I'm faced with a similar situation my reaction would be to give the coin without asking anything in return. Especially if I know that the other person is a collector. Of course, for every one cheap ass neighbour there is a gem as well. Another neighbour who collected coins since 1951 gave me a Rs20 Indira Gandhi coin just to encourage me . I was 8 yrs at the time. He died in 1998. But I am so indebted to him that it's worth mentioning his name; very few gentlemen exists in this world like Uncle Junggu (Jehangir). I hope I can pay it forward one day like he did !

​​Oh, if I knew the other guy was a collector, I would've probably done the same as well (i.e. gave the coin away). This actually seemed to be the default reaction of cashiers to foreign coins (they don't have the slightest idea what to do with Thailand baht, if they can even recognize them - for some reason those are fairly commonly found in Russia - so they just give any they have away when someone asks).
