Happy national nurses day - a thank you to the brave men and women of the NHS
To celebrate national nurses day, here in tbe UK, in sharing with you this intricately designed £2(two pound) coin, designed to commemorate one of the world best known nurses - FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
Florence Nightingale OM RRC DStJ was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers at Constantinople.

Florence Nightingale- circs 1860
The cupro-nickel version entered circulation in 2010 and had a mintage of 6,175,000. Although not particularly rare, as can still be found in your change even today, prices of these coins do go for more than face value.
Recent sales show that a 100% return shoukd you be lucky enough to find one jn your change. So keep an eye out for them! Not only can you double your money, but it also reminds you of the history and sacrifice suffered by millions.

Far too many to list here... we have many circulation coins that collectors want to add, not for "metal value"(ie silver/gold), but because of scarcity.
With just under 6.2 million in circulation, it isnt particularly rare at all.... but take to holy grail of circulation coins here in the UK, the 2009, Kew Gardens 50p(£0.50) - with just 210,000 ever released in to circulation, they now fetch £150+ on Ebay. If you find one of thise kn your change, youve done alrifht for yourself
I'll keep my eye out for the Kew Gardens 50p then. Although, I rarely use coins these days. 😁

NHS is on its knees and we are heading for a catastrophe well mental health anyways 😟
Ive worked for the NHS for 12yrs now... you do t have to remind me
I know remember your post. I work in mental health and it's getting dangerous. Chin-up work until you drop and we'll get more staff, oh shit there aren't any 🙏🏽
HIT. NAIL. HEAD. Make of those three words as you will.
Many different connotations of those three words all very fitting 🤔
As a doctor, always surrounded by nurses, I think they are one of the most underrated professions. Most of their heroic acts get unnoticed.
Cheers to all nurses put there... You guys rock.
It's quite interesting as well as exhilarating that the founder of modern nursing could be recognized by such a coin of value.
Wauuu ! This really interesting,I just learnt something new and knowing the name of the world best nurse.thats really educating
