Queen’s Platinum coin for Sch kids

[Lordhavemercy]

I am just wondering if the platinum coin was handed to all the school kids in England.

Ours got a coin and a book (i work in the school) frustratingly the books arrived, durig half term, with no notice, 15 books short. I have ordered the extras but they haven’t arrived yet so we have withheld some while we wait for them to arrive. So KS1 have had them but KS2 are waiting

I got a mug in 76 for the Silver Jubilee from Infant School. My dad brought home a coin. I assume the mug got broken long ago. I bought my dc a £3 coaster from ebay as a memento.

They only printed four million books. At a estimated cost of £12million.

An estimated cost to whom? Because a 3 quid book token would have been a lot better.

My son goes to a regular primary in Wales and they were given plastic cups and chocolate "gold" coins, the ones you buy in nets at Christmas.

My son goes to a SEND school. He got nothing.

We had the books and some lovely pin badges the pta bought

Our village paid for the £5 coin for the kids. As you can imagine there was a flock of primary kids trying to spend it at the village shop. 😂

A staggering amount of money was doled out to celebrate 70 years of draconian tradition while peasants are starving, Unbelievable

My kids got nothing. I was delighted. What a shocking waste of money. Buy a souvenir if you want one.

Nothing here. Ah well. School did a big Jubilee picnic thing, which I don't agree with unless they are also teaching them about the value of a Republic, but at least we could gave sold a coin on ebay! 😃

DD got a coin & book.

My son's special secondary hot a Jubilee mug. Not sure who paid for them but I would be have been happy to buy a coin an DC pay for a mug for him.

Ours didn't get anything.

School bought a coin for the children.

Our books have arrived, but not enough of them so we are delaying giving them out.

We had a bookmark on the last day of half-term and a book on Friday.
