Yes I am still finding British coins in my change. I think it is because the Olympics but it always has been a common foreign find. This is one has the previous design of the gate on the reverse. It is two years before they stated the puzzle pieces that are currently issued.
Soon the holiday season will start which means, hopefully, more finds. After Halloween until Valentines is when a rush of spenders come out. They are quick to buy things and "accidentally" use foreign coins. Most cashiers are quick to pass it forward so it is a good idea to keep an eye out. British coins look and feel quite different from American coins. Most Euros also are different but Canadians and many Asians are very similar to our coins in weight and feel.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Penny / Great Britain
Year: 2006
Mintage: 524,605,000
Metal: Copper-Plated Steel
Value: $0.02 in VF (very-fine)

There are relatively few British circulating coins that have high value...though the Gunpowder Plot error £2, the undated 20p and the rare withdrawn Aquatics London 2012 50p are among them!

Yes I know but they are still nice coins even if not valuable.
