How can other countries' currency even compete?

rest of the world btfo

>"the Queen’s face contains an invisible code that proves the coins’ authenticity
Who the fuck forges coins?

>>Built-in security piece of metal for machine verification
Absolute state of the UK rn

How fucking much do these cost?

It's like the rest of the world doesn't care if their monopoly money gets forged or not

You forgot
>poor quality; literally fall apart in your hand

hmm now where have i seen this design before

Just reporting what Sky News, the bastion of quality British journalism that it is, told me.

>euro

>a fucking leek

Ffs wales

Doesn't even have a cute animal on it.

>His country's coins need to be updated when a person die.

Our coins are ethernal.

got the exact same one in my wallet and it's definitely NOT broken

>Our

Thought these looked awful until they came out, now I actually kind of like them

>Copy coin making machine.
>Where is your god now_jpg
lol

Is the reason they look so much like the Euro intentional? We used to allow British pennies, 5p and 50p pieces in our shops before the Euro because they were basically identical, but I can't think of any real advantage to it.

Yes, our.

me

Only government have access to money making and it is secret more than nukes. Because money rule some people (wageslaves).

I think it's just that having two types of metal in a coin is more secure

probably to get them used to the design before the forced integration with the EU in a few years/decades
can't fool me globalist scum

Not even every country is capable of making their own coins. RoyalMint makes coins for like over 40 independent countries and territories.

Man, they sure expect to shit hit the fan with Brexit...

Old pound coins, listed from rarest to most common

Ugly as fuck

>cost of production exceeds the nominal value

This commemorative coin can be yours for the small sum of £50,000.

Bollocks, most are lovely. You just have shit taste.

>commemorating the burning of your city
bottom left is absolute shit too

>rarest
literally got most of them, including all single digits

And they say the French have taste lmao

17 is probably the most faked one. I see fakes of that daily

I have the 1066 one ^-^

i'll knock ur teef out m8

>>commemorating the burning of your city

I haven#t seen the new £1 yet ;_;

I suggest you leave your house.
But anyway, It took me like 2 months to get my hands on the new £5 note, and since then I had it like maybe twice in my hands. I just use cards everywhere.

literally no one uses £2 coin why they even bother?
They should redo £1 as a note

Heard that they're gonna start putting enamel paint on them soon too, any truth to that?

Plenty of five euro limited edition coins are essently test runs for new anti-counterfeiting technology. For instance there's the German one with a transparent ring in the center. The Austrian mint has been experimenting with niobium to create oxide layers of a specific thickness and color. There's even bicolored ones now: agaunews.com/an-early-look-at-time-the-next-in-the-austrian-mints-award-winning-niobium-series/

Forgery doesn't seem to be much of an issue for Euro coins so far, but I guess they'll be prepared.

Yeah, our. Doesn't look like a German signature

Where do you live?

>I suggest you leave your house.

I do every day, am yet to see one even after shopping with cash a lot.

...

We're taking over

I find the £2 useful, what they should do is get rid of the 1p & 2p and round everything to 5p like the Canadians

East Kent. Got the new fiver really quickly, and have had nothing but new £5 ever since. Haven't seen a new £1 yet.

This.

design is alright but colour choice is atrocious

Those are the latest €50 ones
>Assuming direct control

I've got one in me wallet rn.

doller

UK btfo bitch

This one works a bit better. Have to say that despite the interesting technology I'm not a big fan of how the niobium coins look.

Learn what the word commemorative means.

You could forge a dollar note with a photocopier.

...

Shut up u fucking cinnamon roll

yeah bright colours don't belong on currency lest it looks like canadian monopoly money

I love £2 coins

The Japs will love that Peter Rabbit coin.

You can love or hate the EU but everyone must admit that euro has both the ugliest coins and notes in the observable universe

I am still the first owner of the £1 coin I got in mt wallet

bit nazi-ish

It looks awful, lad. Don't lower your standards for this.

false news

Is number 11 one of the bridges over the Tyne?

Nah, pretty sure it's some bridge in Wales. Each country only gets one bridge each

Oh wait actually it is over the Tyne apparently

royalmint.com/discover/uk-coins/coin-design-and-specifications/one-pound-coin

I "recalled" it from this album cover, it's not even the same bridge but it's the same river, kind of weird.

The reason they had to make these coins is because a ridiculously high proportion of pound coins in circulation were forged. You'd notice it every time you would use a vending machine or something and one of your coins would be rejected every time

>12 sides

3% of all £1 coins to be precise

Hmm, I heard it was a lot higher than that

Mexican coins were bimetal before the Euro came around. It's not like it's a new idea.

>not more than just an attempt of the british central bank trying to raise the value of the pound

hehe

rude
