Sorry to jump in your lollercoaster
But I've been thinking about this and it doesn't really make sense. You don't just accidentally create thousands of 'wrong coins' there are so many quality controls in coin production that you would have to go out of your way in order to do so.
I am not one for conspiracies but my feeling is that by creating these 'rare coins' they are inflating the value of something so minute gigantically in a way that 'increases circulation'. By giving a small sample of the population something that is suddenly 'rare' and telling coin collectors that each is worth over £50, surely theres something in it? Is it not a free and 'harmless' way of generating capitol?
Simply printing more money created hyper inflation but this in a way bypasses it.
Could it be an experiment for the future?
Am I completely out of my depth?
Is there a God?
Ignore the last questions. But if anyone actually has the faintest understanding about economics please shout out, I would be very interested to hear your opinion on this.
