I have ordered a set of the latest British currency and the only interesting thing about it seems to be that each coin forms part of a larger picture - a shield.<br /><br />Many's the time I have rubbed an 1888 Victorian copper and thought about whether Jack the Ripper had it in his pocket as a new coin while he went about his gruesome business.Perfect Virgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842802482293784692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9757991.post-3900043847991611032009-12-27T11:27:11.631-04:002009-12-27T11:27:11.631-04:00I couldn't agree more about the state of moder...I couldn't agree more about the state of modern day coinage.
