I like them if only because it upsets the Welsh - apparently they're not represented on the new coins. Well, try being a proper country first  |

I don't think it confirmed it in that article, but did in a number of newspaper reports. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/visual_arts/architecture_and_design/article3671083.ece |

The old ones will stay in circulation for ages whilst the new ones gradually become more and more common. I think that's what they do. I'm no royal mint expert. |
