M&S,they always have
their coins on something like
4 4 3 or similar.

I noticed them in our M&S
along with the large single
coin.

I did notice they were doing
dubloons,pirate money as well

I want some choc coins for the Christmas tree, but they HAVE to be the old English ones. And they HAVE to be wrapped in gold foil, not silver. Not that I'm fussy or anything The last few years I've only seen Euros in the shops. I can't hang Euros on the tree, it's just not right

Anyone seen them anywhere?

I understand your sentiments and used to feel the same but I've decided that life is too short to spend hours looking for Sterling ones especially given that the wrappers will be removed without even being looked at!

I was in BHS last week and they had the chocolate coins. Nearly picked up a few packs for myself. They are £0.99. They made me laugh, the 2p's were HUGE!

They should be Euros as st nicholas was from what is now Turkey, unless you can find some genuine Asia Minor choccy coins I wouldn't worry about it.
