Some Remainers won’t accept the new 50p ?

I asked the assistant if she could give me a different coin,

First world problem.

Lemon - I am sorry to be argumentative. I usually avoid arguements but, unlike other political issues, I find Brexit very emotional and I do get both sad and angry. What's made it worse is that from the day of the referendum result, many leavers have been so rude crowing over us remainers who lost. I'm not saying you have done this, but many have and it just gets to me.

GrandmaMoira, At least you haven't been called uneducated, uninformed, misled, stupid, xenophobic and a Little Englander.

Count your blessings!

That gets to me!

It’s a 50 pence coin, for pity’s sake!
Why does anyone actually care?

Merlotgran, first world problem, precisely.

Merlot - I'm sorry you have had these kinds of comments, which I can assure you I haven't said. I do think though that all this just proves further that Cameron should never have held the referendum and the country will continue to be divided in a way it never was before.

GrandmaMoira; I'm going to a candlelit vigil tonight at 10.30 and, as ever will be putting some personal details in my pocket in case I get attacked at some point. I still can't believe that this is what Brexit has done to this country and will never forgive those that gave people permission to be so nasty. I spoke to a lady from Amsterdam the other week; she'd moved back there permanently after 37 years in this country because she was tired of being asked where she came from and when was she 'going home'. This had not happened to her in the 33/4 years prior to the referendum.

Stay safe, Labaik

merlotgran This is a selection of what Professor Michael Dougan has been called: "remain scum, anti-democratic c**t, pathetic excuse for a humanbeing, queer c**t, deranged loser, traitor filth... " I can't post the rest because GN would delete it.

And I can assure you growstuff, that some who voted leave have been called very similar names.

Anyway, it's done, we're out, Cheers!!

The words on the coin are exactly what we will lose for many year, I fear.

It's not uncommon to mint commemorative coin .. How many have they minted? Will they increase in value?

I'm not claiming they haven't Opal. I was responding to merlotgran.

I hope I get one in my change, I look forward to having a look at this new coin.

If you'd have been quicker, you could have bought a gold one. Only £950. ?

How frightfully Brexiteer to want to live in the past so mint a coin when most people at using various forms of cards.

Have they all gone lucywinter?

Aspen
? How frightfully arrogant

Good grief, it's a coin with a message of peace and prosperity worth 50p. Will the next be the Scottish refusing Bank of England notes and coins with rose's on it. First world problem give them to the homeless if they offend but don't bore us with endless complaining.

Spot on Tooting ??

I actually sent for a bright shiny new one from the royal mint. I want to make a wood carving and embed the coin in a design

10 million have been minted apparently rosecarmel. Shared amongst 67 million people. I have a feeling I won’t get my mitts on one. Shame. I’d like to have kept one!
