Commemorative Coins

EDM number 42 in 1994-95, proposed by David Chidgey on 17/11/1994.

That this House notes with disappointment the proposal to issue a coin with a face value of two pounds to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Second World War; believes that this cost will be prohibitively expensive to many people and especially children; proposes that a 50p coin would be a more realistic price and would ensure widespread availability; and urges Her Majesty's Treasury to issue 50 pence commemorative coins to enable the British public to mark this historic event.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
