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
Quote:
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.

I’ll bet Alley Oop would be surprised Dinny his trusty mount, was a Dinosauria.
