Note from Paul Baker: Anyone making such pieces without permission takes a bigger risk than usual if including the 2012 logo on the pieces. They like to think they have tight control on permissions for any items with the 2012 logo. We cannot be sure of the status of these until someone finds out more information. I sent a question into the http://www.london2012.com/contact-us.php page. I looked on ebay... there were some bi-metallic pieces that were not 2012 related... such as... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160344464797 10.
