Just got a letter through the post today offering a commemorative £5 coin to celebrate the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's Diamond wedding anniversary... http://www.royalmint.com/RoyalMint/web/site/Annexes/07collections.asp anyone gonna get one
Hell no. It's bad enough having to put up with Adam Smith on the new twenty pound notes, let alone going out of my way to find a coin celebrating those two bastards....
haha, i didn't even think of that. A shingle is also a piece of material used as a tile and I think the name for the coin game comes from all those coins next to wall when playing the so called game as they represent a shingle beach. I think it's called pitch penny actually....we used to call it shingles did you know?! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_penny
My little ladies will want one, they own a few bits of memorabelia from other events. Just to counteract any mis-thoughts they will at the very same moment sing along with a rendition of "Take Down the Union Jack" by BB.
I was pretty surprised at the amount of stuff you can buy from the Mint actually... baby rattles, keyrings etc. Madness!
i have a £5 coin somewhere already... and yeah i saw a new £20 note today in work - how weird are they!!!
Place that makes money > shop > sells stuff to.. make money! Oh I just love smartarse irony. *chuckles to self while mounting high horse*
five pound coin my arse can just imagining the next clothing manufactors to produce a pair of jeans with fuckin twelve inch deep pockets ........with notes you know were you are ............
I have used a five pound coin once. Big silver coins. Roundish and quite heavy. A lot of shop keepers question their legality. I say, Got Queen's head on it, it is legal. I think five pound notes are better.
