in Da Pod (Statistics)
Some weird and wonderful statistics created from the 50p's
that I have collected.
This page has no 'right hand pane' unlike the rest of my website to allow me to fit in all the graphs that I want to show here! Select the mini-graphs to jump down to the one that you want to look at in more detail.
Who contributed?
Out of the 500 contributors, I split them up into seven catagories:
Friends, Family, BBC colleagues (that I already knew), BBC colleagues (that I didn't know until they decided to contribute), people off of the internet (i.e. complete strangers, and the bulk of the contributions), animals (for all those cats, dogs & hampsters), and a very dubious catagory - others.
How Contributed
Contributing by me being given a physical fifty pence piece was obviously the most common way of collecting the money, but PayPal comes a close second as most of the contributions from people around the world were done that way.

Breakdown of year of physical 50 pence pieces
In cases where the money was not given to me in physical 50 pence form, (eg. two 20p's and one 10p), I've taken the liberty of changing it myself into a 50 pence piece. Out of the 96 50p's that I have in my jar at home, this is how they breakdown into the year that they were made.
From this, it would seem that the majority of 50p pieces in circulation are from 1997, with just a few from the remaining years.
Location
of contributors
If I'm entirely honest with myself on this one, there
is no need at all for this to be a pie chart, but I just really wanted to
have a pie chart as I don't think I've made once since school, and they
just look quite cool.
Types of 50p donated
I'
m starting to discover as well that
there are some 'rare' 50p coins in circulation
.I've also got a Isle of Man (1997) 50p which is quite unique I think.
There's also a1998 special NHS 50p:Contributor
Paul (#62) has pointed me in the direction
of the Royal
Mint website which has a breakdown of the number of coins that were
produced in the UK each year.
