Nice find Jay.

Thanks, I forgot to say you get the £25 off voucher (on £75 spend on non-discounted items) if you spend £9.99, so 3 coins. If you're buying in bulk, it might be worth splitting into multiple transactions as you get a new £25 off voucher with each transaction.

Is it OSS?

Oops I mean OOS.

Anyone else having problems at checkout, ive tried 2 different cards?

Good find btw, heat added

I don't think so - still saying limited stock

It could be your browser - may need to use Internet Explorer 8 (I think). I tried with Firefox earlier and it was stuck on processing order and did nothing

I thought legal tender and usable cieculation coins were two different things.

legal tender being the maximum volume of a specific coin someone has to accept, ie up to 20 * 1ps, most will accept more.

while usable circulation being if classified as usable or comemerative. if comemerative then down to the value that the recipient values it as.

might be wrong, sure someone else be along shortly who does know exactly and actual terms

I believe you are correct regarding legal tender, but I have also read that some banks have accepted these, while others have not (usually when attempting to deposit in bulk).

Regardless, I believe £6.98 for the Olympic £5 coin and Paralympic £5 coin is a good deal

I have the same problem . I tried two cards and having problem with check out too.

tailo - What browser are you using?

I'm having issues completing the order. States my bank won't accept the payment.

What's the protocol here - should I expire the deal?

Nice find, but unable to check out

Windows internet explorer 8.

chrome - no luck

Sorry, I don't have a solution - has anyone been able to complete a transaction?

Damn....it's not going through....something's wrong with the website.....As they say, if its too good to be true, it generally is too good to be true!

i just tried on my macbook, chrome + safari with no luck plus 2 different cards.

Im guessing there payment system is down :disappointed:

No luck here either, tried laptop, phone, tablet and 2 different cards. Bank wouldn't authorise ? ?

Tried internet explorer, safari and chrome with 2 cards. no luck at all.

The site keeps rejecting payments by all cards

Thought it was just me till I came back on here and checked :wink:

I'll give in now and go to bed then.

I'm going to expire it - sorry guys!

Just tried as well and it didn't work

Don't expire it dude, it is a live item, and the payment system may come back online soon.

Chill

not working here either :disappointed:

It looks like they got stock, just looks like there online payment system is down

I'm having trouble with it accepting my payment card and yet there are no issues with my credit....yet!

Just tried two different cards and two different amounts but unfortunately no luck.

Tried IE 10, 11, Chrome and Firefox, all failed checkout?

Excuses my thickness but is this legal tender, and would be like buying £5 for £3.50?

I tried it Saturday morning and it wasn't working either, don't think its a payment issue ...

If anyone is able to get these, banks are not obliged to take them yet some will, however post offices have agreed to accept these in payment for good & services.

Thanks for the info claravella

Can't get through the payment system either. Be careful refreshing as it will put the shipping back on if you aren't paying attention.

Still not working for me, different payment cards and browers

Not been able to complete a transaction but it is a good find!

Still not working ><

IE8 - problem with card....

I'm having the same problem. Going to ring them tomorrow and see what the problem is. Will post an update

What a bunch of **** these people are. Went to the High Street store and they cannot order...Phoned them and tried to order but they cant take orders over the phone. Tried on line again and card rejected........

Shame I really wanted these.

I had one sent to my local store as well

sloblocks! Can't get them.

9 of them for £31. take them to the post office or bank to get £45 back. not a bad little profit. if nowhere will take them, it's possible to flog them off to a pub/restaurant. if you pay for your meal at the end i'm pretty sure the owner has to take any legal tender. these are legal tender, so if these 9 £5 coins are all you have, it's tough luck for them. xD

There was a problem with your order

Sorry, we are unable to accept your order as your bank has not authorised payment.

We would suggest that you contact your bank for further clarification before attempting to place your order again. Alternatively, please use a different payment card.

Nothing wrong with any of the 3 cards I have tried!

More bad press:

Don't see why anyone would want these.

Except this coin isn't gold, and it's a £5 coin being sold at less than £5. You're right if banks don't readily accept them though.
Nice keepsake but voted cold since can't complete the order

Website still won't accept payments...tried 3 days in a row....guess they can't be that desperate for orders if they don't want to take payments :wink:

The payment system would not work for me spoken to customer service who have arranged for the coin to be sent to my local branch for collection and payment in store also said store will ring to let you know when you can collect :smile:

Called up and they wont take orders over the phone - how did you guys get yours then? I want it delivering to store.

but paying for a meal after you have had the meal is a debt. you're a debtor to the business and can pay with any legal tender?

Great arbitrage!

Wrong - banks and the Post Office do. If anything you can deposit money to your bank via the Post Office and pay in £5 coins.

Yea.. sure... and that forum and lots of others online are just lying... I'm only giving you guys a heads up. Don't expect to be making money from this if that's what you're ordering it for. As a little round shiny piece of metal, it's a fair price, but nothing special here.

I'm sure it's worth **** off every local pub by forcing a £5 coin down their throat just to save £1.5!! You'd have a hard time using it, even in that case, but if it reached the courts (which it wouldn't for such a petty amount), then yes you can use your £5 coin. Provided they don't turn around and ask you to use some of your 'normal' money, which you actually earned.

I think you're forgetting what this "little round shiny piece of metal" actually is. It's a legal tender, whether shops accept it, or not. If it can be purchased a discount, then it's pure arbitrage.

My order has been cancelled...

they offered to do this as i was having trouble with the payment system

I spent half an hour online chatting with one of them today and was told that the warehouse couldn't confirm that they had any of these (which surprisingly suggests they are out of stock, according to the woman I was chatting with?).
The Olympic one has been marked as discontinued on their system so you'll be lucky if you actually find any store with stock?
The Paralympic one you can order instore as it's not discontinued yet, but they get them from the central warehouse and they can't confirm they've got any stock??
Basically, they ain't got any left!!

Well done to anyone who actually got these, lots of us on here didn't :wink:

are there any left or any other coins?
