New UK coinage

Completely new design (apart from the £2).
Notably they won't have numbers on them, making sure you need to at least need to know numbers in English :p (Too bad if you only speak Welsh :s )

Looks nice. The current coins look a bit old. These ones look nice.

Saw a story about these on Channel 4 news last. Everyone was bemoaning the loss of the old coins, especially as Britannia doesn't feature, but I think these new ones are fantastic. When arranged, the new 1p to 50p coins make up the Shield of the Royal Arms, and the £1 coin has the full image. Very clever.

Now that is a great initiative. I really do like those. :)

They look cool IMO. Out with the old, in with the new, as the saying goes.

That's pretty clever indeed. I assume the queen is on the other side?

Absolutely.

These are really nice coins, look kind of ancient and old and valuable. I will definately look forward to the new style of coins coming out ths summer.
