New coins

New coins unveiled with winning design - Home News, UK - The Independent

I think they look very trendy but have a traditional touch -the £1 is a complete depiction of a coat of arms -lesser value coins depict parts of it.
They should be Ok for blind people - they look very 'touch sensitive'

It doesn't say so, but that german woman is probably on the other side :rolleyes:

Re: New coins

I like them. You can picture people sat at the bar trying to put them together like a jigsaw. :)

It doesn't say in the article though when they will come into circulation. Anyone know?

Re: New coins

I don't like them. I think the value should be numerical and not the value in words. It could make it harder for tourists who may well be looking at the numbers on the till when they buy things over here.

Re: New coins

I don't like them. I agree with Neil that they should have numerical values on.

Re: New coins

I didn't notice that they didn't have the numerical number on. I think that they should have them on instead of lettering but i still like them.

Re: New coins

I don’t know why they bothered.

After all it is only a matter of time before we have to use the Euro coinage.

However having part of a design on a coin is just plain daft.

Re: New coins

I personally think they look good, so if anyone wants to send me some free samples that would be great.
