This coinage is... different.kylef wrote:
lol - it's the square in the circle that just sort of makes it look...weird! Although there will still be plenty of old coinage around for a looooong time.

I had a pound coin yesterday with the Newcastle Millenium Bridge on it.kylef wrote:
That's the reason we don't have £1 notes. Coins last something like 15 years before they are considered being removed; I have coins still usable and of standard form that are nearing 20 years old. Notes on the other hand usually become "unusable" in a lot less than 15 yearsThere was a new design in 2007 / 2008 - celebrating 200 years.jord wrote:

Apparently, this is a £2 coin as well - although I have never seen any of these before:

It turns out that they actually change every year, or at least come out with new production designs. Check out this site to see them all. Some I recognize, some I don't.
Go on, Poe. What's the history behind all this then?CameronPoe wrote:

It makes it alot easier, now when you go to France, you don't have to change currency from Guldens to Marks to get on the tollroads, same with Germany. When I went to London 3 years ago, I was wtf'ed at what I got back from changing a 50,00 Euro note for pounds.jord wrote:

You don't go to a tribe in the Amazon and expect them to deal in your currency because it's easier. No, you respect their culture.

Then all country's should keep them. The plan was to get every EU country to use Euro's so the economy's would balance. Every country in the European Union has got the Euro and you are also part of the EU.jord wrote:

Heritage might be a better word. Or being unique and keeping with traditions.
