The above was announced in the budget today:

Any suggestions for a design?

I thought, perhaps an update of the 1973 design commemorating the EEC, with the Queen's hand now separate and waving goodbye.

"The Late Great Britain"

Or "We're Fucked"

Either works for me

We could just leave it blank, a big fat nothing.

It isn't the minting costs. It's the designers, the consultations, the meetings, the disagreements - all that costs money that could be spent elsewhere. How long did it take them to agree on Jane Austen after all?

And frankly, I resent any of my taxes being spent on attempting to celebrate the giant clusterfuck that is Brexit.

A Wheelie bin, containing? whoever you dislike the most.

A hexagon of doom

It should be a virtual coin, like the mystical all-tech Irish border.

mathanxiety · 31/10/2018 07:42

A hologram perhaps...

CraicMammy · 31/10/2018 07:58

Yes! A hologram of a cake, you have the cake... oh no wait! You’re eating the cake!!

They’re going to have to produce a hell of a lot of the coins to pay the annual £73,000 MEP pension that Farage will be drawing.

I'm just shamelessly bumping because I love this thread so much.

Darkbendis · 31/10/2018 11:34

Because it makes sense, right?

Oops, I didn't see it already got posted.

DGRossetti · 31/10/2018 16:25

Personally, I think it's rather symptomatic of the lack of imagination (and intelligence) of Brexiteers that they didn't see fit to demand the commemorative coin be a Sovereign rather than a more déclassé 10 shilling piece. Or maybe their history isn't that good ?

Either way, it will interesting to see how this piece of currency fares. If, indeed, it ever gets minted.

Maybe Aaron Banks can fix it to have a picture of Putin on the back.
