A

It’s my understanding that some of the packs of Jersey 1997 coin sets were split up, do we know roughly when and roughly how many?

B

What happened to the large 1997 50p coins? As they did not go into circulation were they destroyed or are they still at the treasury?

C

I also heard a rumour that the red folders for the parish sets were burnt down at the dump, is this information correct? And roughly when and how many were destroyed?

D

I was also told, rumour again, that a Resolute £1 was minted in 2012 as per your posters regarding the round pound being taken out of circulation. I was told that in 2012 there was a special mintage of a single gold £1 coin. Is this information correct?

E

What was the mintage of the Jersey 2014 and 2016 50p coins?
