[@ChristopherCollects]

It is stunning!

[@jonathandean2186]

Great video, it looks like a fantastic experience at the mint.

[@ChristopherCollects]

Thanks! Yes it was a fab day!

[@xeganxerxes4319]

Ahh... another trip to the Mint! As I think I've previously mentioned, I've never been. But it is certainly on my to do list! The Sherlock 50p looks to me to be the most desirable coin released this year. I'll look out for one.

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yep and I'll be up again when the SYO changes. Yes I like that design too!

[@Pocket_poet]

I've never been to the mint si was lovely to see this! X

At 3:38 I noticed Patrick was wearing an overwatch hoodie and that's what he looks like Stunning video btw, it was cool actually seeing what it's looks like in the royal mint I really want to go but don't know how much it will cost and we don't have money to go anywhere right now

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yes haha he loves Overwatch! Glad you enjoyed the video. Maybe you'll get a chance to visit some time in the future

[@t_alex5566]

I would love to come see you at the royal mint I’m planning on going when they change the strike your own coins so hopefully I see yah there 🤞🏼

[@ChristopherCollects]

Oh awesome! I'll announce the date in going in a video when it changes

[@ChristopherCollects]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@patrickhammett7825]

I did indeed,am from Derry Ireland so I’d never get a view of inside, is the gold bar actually real

[@CoinsMore]

I would love to visit this place but live to far away. It ia great we can witness it through your videos though! :-)

[@ChristopherCollects]

That's a shame! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@CoinsMore]

@@ChristopherCollects I am sure that I will get there one day :-)

[@owengraveling4794]

This royal mint 50ps are sooo cool

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yes haha!

[@juliehomer3884]

I love the raf coins my favourite the sea king 😊

[@ChristopherCollects]

They do look lovely!

[@maximusprime2589]

I loved the Gromit sooo much

[@ChristopherCollects]

It is very cool!

[@coffeehousereviews]

Well. Gold bar, striking 10 SYOs. You had a very productive day. We met patrick. And had a fun time watching. All that leaves e to to is thankyou so much for reading and will see you soon. Bye

[@ChristopherCollects]

It was a great day! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@coffeehousereviews]

@@ChristopherCollects I loved it. You know what's funny sometimes when I am watching your 10p hunts it almost like your In the room and and I am speaking to you

[@onyxgaming7243]

What Bank do you get the coins for the coin hunts?

[@francescatarallo9847]

Cool video

[@ChristopherCollects]

Thanks!

[@Alrik.]

Very interesting video!! I seem to remember you brought back only three strike your owns last time, could you do more now than then because a 50p is a smaller coin than the £5 Nutcracker? I hope you enjoy the bunc-coins you bought, I remember a time when you had never bought a coin before :p Have you bought many bunc-coins like this from the Royal Mint before? Looking forward to the mentioned giveaways! ;)

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yes the limit was more this time which was cool! I bought the Frankenstein last time I was up there and now I can't stop haha!

[@Dawkins_YT]

Did Chris get a haircut? 🤣

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yes hahaha

[@LegendGamer-je8is]

Aggghh I'm so jealous

[@ChristopherCollects]

It was a good day out

[@kidbox3427]

Yay Patrick

[@ChristopherCollects]

🤣

[@mavisness_7848]

I would love to travel down from Scotland to visit the Royal Mint but would need to rob a bank to pay for the 🚆 fare.

[@bans2123]

same i live 303 milles away

[@philprice3870]

Mavisness _ see if you can buy a rail & sail if asked your traveling from Fishguard to Rosslare you’ll be surprised just how cheap those tickets actually are!. Also you can travel peak or off peak on them .

[@coinscollections]

Dont rob bank will lead u straight to royal prison rather than royal mint!!

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yikes! Yes I imagine that wouldn't be cheap!

[@j28esn]

Mavisness _ Scottish Crew 😎

[@MackenziiRivers]

Calling South Wales 'uphere' for me is such a funny thought too me for some reason

[@ChristopherCollects]

Hahaha

[@littlecherryful]

Where was this museum I would like to visit and would you do a full video of the royal mint

[@ChristopherCollects]

It is in South Wales Llantristant I record everything I can there but there are parts you aren't allowed to film

[@littlecherryful]

It looks amazing I really want to go , I thinking of going in April

[@dillhussain4165]

Best vid yet

[@ChristopherCollects]

Thanks!

[@berrywaffles]

It's weird watching this as I've actually been there now! 😂 Only thing is... They were only giving out R 10ps in change :(

[@ChristopherCollects]

Haha hope you had a great time! I've not had R yet maybe next time haha

[@w1nnie974]

In the 10p exchange can u only exchange 1 per person?

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yes that's correct

[@pedwards2339]

Hi Christopher. Great video. Have been trying to put a face to the voice.

[@ChristopherCollects]

Haha thank you!

[@francescatarallo9847]

Love this video :)

[@ChristopherCollects]

Thank you!! 😁

[@steveo7165]

Nice one, Is that all your Christmas money spent now then Christopher :-)

[@ChristopherCollects]

Surprisingly not I took more with me expecting to get more than I did haha

[@owencook2332]

This is such a great video! I would definitely be interested in watching more vlogs from your channel ! Was there a limit to how many 10p’s you could exchange for an A - Z 10p ?

[@ChristopherCollects]

The exchange was 1 per person. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Flowstate777rl]

The question is.... How much did you spend?

[@ChristopherCollects]

Haha not as much as I was planning to 🤣

[@enchanted_blue9807]

What is the point of the snowman if it's not going into circulation. It looks a lovely design.

[@ChristopherCollects]

To sell to collectors haha make them money 🤣

[@roidnerd2501]

That gold bar was quite light i found.

[@ChristopherCollects]

Hahaha not to mere mortals like me 🤣

[@roidnerd2501]

@@ChristopherCollects haha just requires forearm strength a few people when i went tried to lift it struggle.

[@jamesgaminguy5382]

Do they give special 50ps in change in the gift Shop?

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yes they do!

[@lorilita2]

So cool! Are the strike-your-own coins the size of the old 50 Ps, or the current ones?

[@ChristopherCollects]

Same as circulating ones

[@yagingerboy8633]

Can you just go to the bank and exchange money for 50p coins or does it have to be a certain amount you pay

[@ChristopherCollects]

Depends on your bank and how much your after if it's a large amount you might need to give them notice

[@terryroberts7560]

Great video, cant believe you both weigh exactley the same, any info on que gardens?

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yes haha very weird! The new set sold out in an hour!

[@HRHStaceyExo]

Hi Chris does the royal mint give all rare coins in change there or were you just lucky

[@ChristopherCollects]

I guess they keep some there for doing that

[@HRHStaceyExo]

Ok thanks!

[@mrbulldog4727]

Hi Christopher when I visit my bank and ask for coins they always question me or don’t have the coins to give me, how do I go about this?

[@ChristopherCollects]

Tell them you collect coins haha money in and out does look dodgy if you don't explain. If they say no I'd try another bank

[@mrbulldog4727]

Christopher Collects i thinks it’s because I bank with nationwide they don’t tend to have much coins in stock, when I was with Barclays I didn’t have much of an issue, thanks for the reply 👍🏻

[@SASHBOSS]

Nice video Christopher. Q: despite collecting coins, have you ever had a different hobby?? 😄

[@ChristopherCollects]

Yes although I don't get much time for anything else at the moment

[@ScottishCoinsRK]

Lovely coins thinking of going down there what dose syo mean

[@ChristopherCollects]

Oh nice! SYO is strike your own you pay extra and mint a coin there and then for yourself which you can only get there

[@superstarwarrior4978]

Got couple questions what do think a new 50p will be? What would you think if they did new beauty and the beast 50p? heard of winnie the pooh 50p or know anything about them? Those coins looks so awesome

[@soo8296]

Super Star Warrior I heard Mrs Thatcher is on new coin

[@bans2123]

i heard of a ten coin set with past designs on them like the kew gardens

[@letsgosomewhereelse]

I really hope there is a WTP coin! That would be so cute!!

[@ChristopherCollects]

I'm guessing there will be more Beatrix Potters maybe? I don't think we'll get Disney ones as they aren't British. The Winnie the Pooh I think is a token not a circulating coin

[@nationwidecoinhunt1176]

What is the bonus ar coin

[@ChristopherCollects]

I still haven't checked that out yet haha

[@georgegreen9773]
