Good idea, bad implementation?
Reads like a christmas card wish for simpletons.
How about "If it wasn't for our national sacrifice, EVERY single one of you would be under the 3rd reich", then use them as substitute Euros.

Which war are you referring to?

Think he meant ward.

A two fingers V sign to the EU would be a more appropriate design.

Can the Royal Mint really churn out new coins at three months' notice?
Report detraveller • August 11, 2019 10:48 AM BST
That's not a big issue they can delay brexit a few months if the coins don't come out in time.
Report macarony • August 11, 2019 11:35 AM BST
It is to mirror the 50p common market coin, the one with all the hands on the back.

God help us if this idiot is in charge of our economy. Firstly wasting tax payer money and secondly we are by no means certain to be leaving the EU just yet!

Should issue special 52p and 48p coins, just for bants.
Report screaming from beneaththewaves • August 12, 2019 2:55 PM BST
The 52p coin could show a flight of Spitfires, with a Messerschmitt crashing in flames on the 48p one.

I'd use them.
Report Wallflower • August 13, 2019 7:08 PM BST
The EU should issue a 10 cent (or whatever is of equal value to the 50p) - with "thank f*ck, we thought they'd never leave"

Without Britain in the way and Merkel obviously suffering from some sort of neurological disorder, the opportunity for the to change direction is never better

Could issue a special coin for remoaners doing coin tosses, that you always get to toss again until you win.
