The Royal Mint is giving away free collector England World Cup coins, for £1 Packaging & POsting.

You're can't spend them - they're not legal tender - but many kids will love them.

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif]wtd_icon.gif How to grab one [/title]
Just fill in the form. You have to pay by Paypal, so will need to set up an account if you don’t have one.

You can leave the 'customer code' space blank. The press office has confirmed it's for everyone.

There are 150,000 available and the Royal Mint says it will update the site when all the coins have gone.

    Is this for existing customers only? The form says you need a customer code and password?

    Nope. I left the first box empty and just entered any password and then fill in the rest of the information and got the confirmation after paying the £1 using Paypal.

    looks like a bit of a scam to me. if it had been a limited edition one pound coin then the £1 postage would have been justified

    I'm not actually sure what you're buying here? I have to say that I find a £1 postage charge for something this small anything but 'reasonable'!
