Jan, 12, 2013 Coins of The Realm
Evidently from what I'm reading on the net... which is rock solid evidence... there’s a lot of Brits who are unaware of this pattern.
Of course the rest of us have an excuse, so we can all point and giggle at them.

Yeah...they were a redesign from a few years ago. Most of the coins in circulation don't look like that. Every now and again I'll get one with that kind of pattern.
I must admit though, that I didn't know the redesigned coins made a larger pattern when put together.

I knew.
But I've never bothered to collect them and put them all together, so thanks for that.

I knew too, and also didn't bother to collect them. I think we have the two pence one kicking around somewhere. Last I saw it, it was on the windowsill in the bathroom.

We should do this in the US. That way while we further debase the currency we can pretend each coin is actually a lower denomination.

That happened in Canada when the one and two dollar bills were scrapped in favor of the loonie and toonie. No one was thrilled about carrying those big, heavy suckers around. There was little reaction as prices and taxes ballooned to make the five-dollar bill the new one-dollar, and loonies/toonies became kitchen jar change.
