    Found this years ago in a slot machine (Used to work in an arcade). It looks like a 2p coin but with the Pope's head on it. Not an actual coin. I'm assuming it's not worth anything much but was just wondering if anybody knows or knows where it came from. Cheers

    Not worth a whole lot no, there was loads of them sold during his visit and that type is the most common. There was other medals made to celebrate his visit, like silver proof boxed. I've seen quite a few types.

    Cheers. I assumed it was pretty worthless. Just wasn't sure if it came from the government or a garage or something :)
