[u/redstowen]

The coins for the pound have been redesigned and I want to hear your thoughtsoj it

[u/Commercial_Chef_1569]

what are coins?

[u/DevelopmentRecent240 → u/Commercial_Chef_1569]

Poor effort post, Ivan.

[u/LastFightWasCrazy]

Probably won’t see them for about 10 years, so I don’t have any.

[u/PixelTeapot]

£1 should have been the fish, missed opportunity.

[u/Ivan_Dobsky_MD → u/PixelTeapot]

Not a (s)quid?

[u/redstowen → u/PixelTeapot]

May I ask why?

[u/British_Historian → u/redstowen]

'£1 fish' was a song that a fish market guy had some viral success with in the mid 2010s.

[u/limakilo87 → u/British_Historian]

Very very good

[u/British_Historian → u/limakilo87]

C'mon Ladies.

[u/redstowen → u/British_Historian]

Ok, cool

[u/ExoatmosphericKill → u/redstowen]

Yeah, it was.

[u/British_Historian → u/ExoatmosphericKill]

£1, for a whole fish? Crazy.

[u/Hancri84]

Can't remember the last time I used coins never mind actually took the time to notice the design.

[u/British_Historian]

Buzz Buzz

[u/redstowen → u/British_Historian]

Buzz buzz indeed

[u/neilm1000]

Is it these, u/redstowen?

[u/redstowen → u/neilm1000]

Yep

[u/thisismyuaernamr]

Waste of time, effort and money.

[u/Trev_GFC]

I like them. The shield design was great but coins and notes need a refresh every 10 years or so.

Bear in mind I’ve only got the £1 and 10p, the rest are from what I’ve seen online.

[u/shortercrust]

I think they’re great. After the novelty wore off I wasn’t keen on the shield design we’ve had since 2008. I don’t think they worked all that well as individual coins.

[u/Joshawott27]

[u/Neilkd21]

Couldn't give a fuck, I don't use cash, it's 2026

[u/GaldrickHammerson → u/Neilkd21]

I stopped using cash until I started to engage more with charity events, since then cash has become invaluable.

[u/checkoutmypaws]

I mean they're nice designs but cash is so early 2000s.

[u/Scotland1297]

Look ok, I particularly like the one showcasing a flower for each nation

[u/redstowen → u/Scotland1297]

Which one is that?

[u/laponca → u/redstowen]

£2?

[u/redstowen → u/laponca]

Just checked Wikipedia and it is that one. thanks for sharing that

[u/Scotland1297 → u/redstowen]

[u/redstowen → u/Scotland1297]

Wow, it looks so pretty

[u/limakilo87]

Didn't even know this was happening

[u/redstowen → u/limakilo87]

From what I understand, it happened in 2023

[u/Appropriate_Panda167]

I don't have Any.

[u/DevelopmentRecent240]

Hope each coin features Shakespeare, Churchill, Nelson and Newton.

[u/Done_Apologizing23]

They should release a coin with Mohammed on it.

[u/AngelasGingerGrowler → u/Done_Apologizing23]

Aisha on the reverse.
