mr2mk1g 10 #5 December 2, 2005 Then there's Northern Ireland notes and money from the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Plus most of our coins have some form of commemorative significance so at any one time you might have upwards of half a dozen completely different £1 coins in your pocket. (right now I have two trees with a crown, the Forth Bridge, the Royal coat of arms and a Celtic ring). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um... well your link you posted does say "the mouthless cat turned global icon of cuteness". Is there something wrong with using a "global icon of cuteness" on a commemorative $60 coin which no one's going to spend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got: "US actor Mark Schneider who plays Napoleon Bonaparte poses on his horse near the South Moravian city of Slavkov during the re-enactment of Napoleon's 1805 Battle of Austerlitz in which French troops crushed the armies of Austria and Russia" when I clicked on it.
