Half a Quid, half a quid, half a quid onward.

During one of our two visits to Hazel Dene / brew @ Llama Karma, I spotted this one in their "Tip Box". I promptly swapped it for a Quid.

I checked on the Internet tonight, just to see how many to find.
"London 2012 50p sports collection.

To make sure you can acquire the complete collection, The Royal Mint has struck the 29 coins to uncirculated quality and presented in colourful packs. All 29 coins come with the Completer Medallion and a specially designed album to protect the coins for posterity - an exciting and highly affordable souvenir of this historic event.
"

Right, as them over there say, "Do the Math" 29X50P piece = £14.50 Yes?
Emphatically NO!, they're doing the set at "half price" =£44.75

"Full set of 29 50p coins plus Completer Medallion
Higher quality than coins in your pocket
Plus superb collector album
All items are packed individually ready for you to assemble
"

Which must mean the full price was £89.50. The full set, bought one by one over the post office counter would have set you back £79.75.
Still, I'm nearly 1/2 way there: this one Judo/Wrestling(?) (I've never seen Judo done in shorts!?!) puts me up to 13 in all. Plus 7 or so commemoratives, plus ...
1 Falklands
1 Jersey
1 Guernsey
1 Gibraltar
1 big "Old 'un".

BTW You two, I christened the Cloud Dome with this one, doesn't look 2 bad for a 1st shot.
