That coin is a beauty. It looks like it would be a denomination much higher than £1.
As someone who collected coins a child, I've been a tad disappointed by some of the newer designs coming out of the US Mint. Some are classy, others seem a bit goofy.
But this new pound coin is very tasteful. Well done, Royal Mint!
- cat199 10y agoUS Mint's seeming priority is cost cutting in metals rather than counterfeit coins, since our paper money is so simple I think counterfeiters are focused on that in the lower denominations.. UK notes are much more sophisticated even for the lower denominations, so probably there is more focus is on coins..
