Feb 21st, 2020 : Dinosauria
Britain’s Royal Mint strikes a lot of offbeat coins for collectors. This series honors their native thunder lizards.
3 face value 50p coins in mystery metal either plain or color printed.
Also produced in silver proofs, plain (£60) or color printed (£65), but they are sold out because all Brits are filthy rich.
Then there’s the gold proofs (£945) but they aren’t made with color and they’re sold out too.
See I told you they’re rich

British Anatomist Richard Owen was the first to realise that the remains of three creatures discovered in England – Megalosaurus, Iguanodon and Hylaeosaurus – shared common characteristics. He named this new group of animals ‘Dinosauria’ in a paper published in 1842, sparking a fascination with these creatures that continues to the present day. |

When I watch magnet fishermen from England, they pull up coins (1 Euro coins as well) regularly.
Are all British coins magnetic?

That iguanodon would make a heck of a political campaigner with the scaly human hand.
