Change Checker LIVE 50p Swap is coming to Essex…
We’re extremely excited to announce that we’re bringing our Change Checker Live 50p Swap to Essex!
Join us on Saturday 13th April from 9am – 9pm in Lakeside Shopping Centre where we’ll be giving collectors the chance to swap ANY UK 50p coin for a brand new Brilliant Uncirculated UK 50p.
Usually, collectors only get the chance to swap their coins for one new coin design at our live swap events, however this time is a bit different…
We’re pitting two extremely popular 50p series against each other and giving you the choice of either a Star Wars™ OR Harry Potter 50p!
Our Brilliant Uncirculated UK 50ps usually retail for £5.99, so this is a chance to get your hands on one in superior collector quality for just face value!
We’ll be taking 1,000 50ps with us to swap on the day – half made from a mix of Star Wars™ 50ps and the other half a mix of Harry Potter 50ps – but which series will prove most popular?
Which 50p would you chose?
We’ve had quite a debate at Change Checker HQ about which coin series is the best, and we’d love to know what you think! Would you choose a Harry Potter 50p or a Star Wars™ 50p?
Make sure to cast your vote below to settle the argument once and for all!

Hi, any visits to Newcastle upon Tyne planned? 😊
Hi Lesley, we don’t currently have any shows in the Newcastle upon Tyne area, but keep an eye on our socials for updates about future events!
Kind regards, Kate
hi,please why can’t you go to more minor places instead of capital cities or their largest shopping centres or the major shows that go on throught the country. so people without transport can get to the swap places. not all the places you go to are surviced by public transport.
