New UK coin designs

April 25, 2008 | Links

The Royal Mint recently announced the new designs for UK coins and I’m incredibly impressed.

These coins are stunning. Obviously they look better in these photos since they’re nice and clean but the designs verge on abstract whilst still keeping the shape and colours we know. Place them correctly and they (kind of) make the Royal Arms heraldry.

They’re not in circulation yet but I think they’re great. Much more interesting than we normally get.

    Now those are some cool coins, and that little puzzle thing looks nice too. What do you want to bet that when they’re made public, people with complain and want the old ones back :) i love England haha

    Really really quite ugly and minging. Already had some refused by shop owners who think they’re as fake as they look.
