I have to confess that when I first glanced at the photo on my small screen iPhone, I thought the images were automatic watch movements

When we fυck up Nature so bad and ruin every possible ecosystem on Earth it is nice to at least have a little Nature on the coin faces 😵‍💫

I thought the same when I first saw the new UK coin designs on my phone. They really do look a lot like automatic watch movements! I actually like those designs; they're pretty unique and detailed. It's always exciting to see fresh takes on coin designs.

If you're still hunting for more info, I have a suggestion: check out some info about bullion deals. They can give you a good idea of what's available and at what price. Plus, for anything related to appraisals or auctions, copperstatecoin.com is a great resource. They've got some solid info and can guide you through the process of getting your coins appraised and ready for auction.

I just now found your thread Spruce.

They look very ... modern.

I like the motifs. They are a bit souless though and pale in comparison to the best of the designs from the past 1000 years.



Even though I am an American I even like the old spade guinea of George III!

The irony, given how we’ve decimated nature in pursuit of the pound/dollar.

I prefer the original British coins depicting nature. Gold stater, Iceni tribe horse. 2000 years old.

Squirrels are nice, but they chew through your electric cables.

Hadrian was The Emperor, he simply said "Make it so!"

The builder was Mr O'Reilly

Get rid of the 1 and 2 cents

Really what's 1 cent nowadays anyway.

Australia got rid of ours years ago for the round up or down system….👍

Australia got rid of hours years ago for the round up or down system….👍

So Australia jumps from minutes directly to days?

Darwin = we measure days in cartons of beer
1x day fishing = 1x carton
3x days fishing = 3x cartons etc;
