So far this year the Brexit 50p has been released into general circulation on February 3 of which 10 million pieces will enter circulation.

Over the summer The Royal Mint received an order from HM Treasury for the production of 60 million 2020-dated 1 penny coins for general circulation. These coins have not yet been reported as having been found in general circulation.

As already reported elsewhere, two denominations we definitely won't be seeing new issues of anytime soon are the 2p and £2.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Royal Mint continues to issue commemorarive £2 coins despite not being needed for actual circulation...

The first Diversity 50p's were found into circulation on Tuesday. Today also the first 2020-dated 1p coins have been found in general circulation.

I have just received a report that the 2020-dated 5p coin has now entered general circulation.

The coins from 2020 in my collection, or is this reserved for UK coins? Then change the titel?

It is in the "UK and Ireland" board, so yes, it's reserved for UK coins.

The 2020-dated 10p coin can now be found in general circulation. The mintage figures of the 2020-dated coins minted for general circulation are expected to be released soon.

The 2020-dated 1 pound coin can since recently be found in general circulation. It seems that only very few pieces have so far entered circulation.

While I have not seen any 2020 £1 coins in West Berkshire England, a friend up in North Lanarkshire Scotland has found quite a few.

Neither of us have seen any 2020 20 pence or 50 pence coins - any news about these being seen in circulation yet?

I received a Diversity 50p in change in October. I was in the UK only for a few days and used cash for only a couple of transactions, and even so got this coin  8)  It was in Sheffield, in case that is relevant.
