    As always information on this event is hard to come by and the best that I can do is to give you this link with info and contact details about last years' event. If you look carefully you will see a mobile phone number to contact - you could do worse than try that. :)

    Don't know for sure but I'd imagine some of them would. To exchange coin you do have to have full bags for each denomination, so this would be easier for them to do with large quantities. I'm sure they'd check them for desirable dates/errors etc. first. Personally I'd hang on to any old coinage.

    I just found a big old Irish copper from 1946. It has a harp on the back and some fowl on the front. The denomination is 1d, back before pounds n pence i guess. Anyone have any idea how much it'd b worth?

    On they radio this morning they said you'd get 10,000 euro for a 20p coin from 1985, cuz they only made 600 of them that year.
