Jersey £2 coin mintage (FOI)

Request

What are the mintage figures for the 1998 Jersey £2 coin?

Response

For the purposes of this response, we have defined “mintage” as the date that is physically stamped on a coin. In line with the Treasury and Exchequer retention policy, correspondence in relation to the production of coins is only retained for a period of 10 years, therefore 1998 mintage details are no longer held. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

Information from 2000 is publicly available in response to a previous Freedom of Information Request. Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied. Please see the link below:
