Wow... People actually buy these coins? I mean - in a weak moment, I
could probably order one of these sets myself:

But, just ordinary coins with a Potterish motive? Nah.
The site says that the coins are legal tender, but that doesn't mean
that they're in regular circulation as well, does it? I would probably
hold on to these coins if I had been given some as change, but I'd
never buy the uncirculated collector's coins.

... and I collect plugs (well, not really, but I collect almost
everything else :)
