Look at coins

Have you only just realised that?
How long have they been out?

Took a couple of seconds for the penny to drop

Hadn't realised, either!

Had no idea.

Actually a rather lovely example of good design.

I had wondered - but no idea it was anything like this!

Very clever

All very clever - but I don't think the resulting individual coin designs are good at all - in fact they are ugly and unbalanced.

I never realised that! Always thought they looked a little odd

Too subtle for us all.

That is amazing! Why did n't I know that?

It's a bit wasted really if no one realises. Perhaps even pointless.

People will notice now because we will show them. I don't often use coins – the occasional bus-fare...
I like it a lot.

Very clever

I seem to recall that when this series was introduced there were ilustrations in all the newspapers showing how they fitted together.

Saw DH with coins spread out on the coffee table yesterday - is he on GN?
I never noticed, they are always in my purse or spent.

My grandson showed me that years ago.

Did what exactly?

Ah got it now. Clever! Have just called DH down in his undies to have a look. (at the coins not his undies)

Oh go on, Flower just take a peek and report back!

Not his newest ones I am afraid. He was, however, impressed with the coinage.
