Where can you spend a silver coin? Part 7

So as part of this on going experiment I thought I'd take my £2, silver, Britannia "home". So where is that? Welcome everyone to the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Wales. We'll it is the Royal Mint, but more accurately its the visitors centre or as they've branded it THE ROYAL MINT EXPERIENCE

It's a new building and the work was completed and open to the public in spring of 2016.

So without further a do let's get down to the nitty-gritty and get inside.

So yeah! The gift shop isn't very big, but it is packed with some very expensive coins and coin sets.

Enough time looking at the coins I can't afford and down to the whole point of why I am here. Will the place that actually minted the coin actually accept it back as payment?

Let's find something that costs less than £2... It wasn't easy but I found the kids, gift section.

So what do we think? Did the Royal Mint accept the coin they made as payment for some badges?

So what was your guess?

Of course they didn't.... They did know exactly what it was though, funny that!! The desk manager came over and had a good chat and was very interested in where I had been and had I had any luck. Well obviously I hadn't you tit or I wouldn't be here trying it today!! If you've made it this far, congratulations. I have no need for those badges now, if you want one give me a nice upvote and comment below "I want in".
