When will the 2017 coins be released into circulation?

Change Checkers are often asking me, “when will the 2017 coin designs be released into general circulation?” 

The UK 2017 Coin Designs

So, I have compiled a list below showing which coins are now available in your change and those that are still to be released.

The list will be updated as soon as we get confirmation from The Royal Mint that any new coins have entered circulation.

2017 circulation coin release dates

• WWI Aviation £2: A small amount released in September (Duxford Airshow), full release TBC
• Jane Austen £2: A small amount released in July (Winchester Cathedral), full release  TBC
• Peter Rabbit 50p: September 2017
• Jeremy Fisher 50p: TBC
• Tom Kitten 50p: December 2017
• Benjamin Bunny 50p: December 2017
• Sir Isaac Newton 50p: June 2017

It’s worth noting that coins are only released into general circulation as and when they are required by the banks.
