For any Charles Babbage fangirls/boys out there, the Royal Mint recently honored him with a commemorative 50p coin as part of their Innovation in Science series: https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/charles-babbage/charles-babbage-50p-silver-proof-coin https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/charles-babbage/c...
- new_guy 5y agoSadly once we all go cashless commemorative coins will be a thing of the past.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoThere will still be NFTs :)
- jurassic 5y agoI kinda doubt that. The US Mint manufactures a ton of commemorative coins in denominations and materials (e.g. silver dollars, gold $5, etc) that have no relationship to the circulating coinage. As long as there’s an audience for it, I expect they will keep launching products.
