Title: Red Squirrel coin enters circulation Post by: Chris from Nailsea on August 20, 2024, 17:21:47 From the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3ejnv74dwno):
Quote King Charles III £1 coin enters circulation (https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/b0cf/live/dfecbe50-5e25-11ef-9235-a933a7aa305c.jpg.webp) King Charles's now-familiar portrait will be on the front of each coin The first £1 coins featuring King Charles III are entering circulation this week. Almost three million coins have been issued to post offices and banks across the country. ... The tails side of every coin will feature the country's flora and fauna. Animals ranging from the red squirrel to the capercaillie grouse are also depicted, as part of an effort to show the importance, and precariousness, of the natural world. :) Title: Re: Red Squirrel coin enters circulation Post by: rogerw on August 20, 2024, 17:55:18 nice to see that Red Squirrel is getting his own coin.

A few months back it was announced the Royal Mint wouldn’t be issuing lower denomination coins for now so it may only appear in presentation sets for a while at least.
