I believe in the early nineties the high street banks over ordered massively on 50p pieces - took years to get rid of them. the royal mint refused to accept them back.....

Erm... what's going on there then? Ah... ASP.
It claims in the HTTP Content-Type header to be UTF-8; however the actual bytes being sent for the £ character are 0xef 0xbf 0xbd
That's not ISO Latin-1, nor is it Windows 1252. In fact, I haven't got the faintest idea what it thinks it is
