Two old coins (strange, I know)

Ok, this is a bit of a strange one.

Getting married in December, and as part of our ceremony we will be exchanging coins as a token of all we own. Now, we could do any random coins, but it would be nice to have them mean something. So, i'm on the lookout for two coins - one dated 1982 and one dated 1986, our years of birth.

Preferably not copper pennies, the bigger the coin the better. The old punt coin would be ideal as its big and silver. Have only one here but its 1990. Not sure if they date back to 1982??

I actually think i might have somet here ill check for ya!

NICE IDEA BTW

Cheers man. All help appreciated.

the punt coin only came out in 1990, it used to be a green note before that

Do they HAVE to be Irish coins ??

That must be why I have that '90 one here.

Has to be a coin, maybe those old chunky 50p coins?
