Britannia is a symbol of Britain, much like the American Eagle. It has evolved an looks pretty good on today's coins. Who else would they put on who symbolises so much?

Spink's 2004 values the Cartwheel Twopence at £125 in VF

You're forgetting Stalin and McDonald's. And Saddam wasn't that bad

It's quite amazing to see how Britannia has changed from Ancient times to the 21st century: Evolution of Britannia

Ive had this oddity knocking around for a while but never figured out what it was. Any help would be appreciated but I can't see why it says "Coronation Coin" on the obverse and the date as "1911" on the reverse. I'm fiddling with pics I'll put some up in a minute

I read it in a booklet I got whilst queueing for the London Eye

Nice crisp white cabbage is nice not that crappy green stuff and lettuce is also.

TAKE THAT BACK! Pistachio, almond, brazil nuts, the list of delicious ones is endless! Maybe as you get older your palate will change and acquite good taste Oh yeah, I think Hitler is above nuts in the worst thing to happen to this planet

Who cares? The product was defective - for all they know you were just buying it for the walnut!

Complaining is great I once bought a packet of walnut whips from Marks and Spencer and one - shock horror - had no walnut on! So I sent a stern letter to their headquarters and got £15 in vouchers which my mum paid me for so when she did her shopping there she could use them and I got money!

A fact about Soho in London, it was intended for the aristocracy to live in after the Great Fire of London. Then after they moved out it turned into the seedy place it is today. Quite a transition, don't you think?

Take/Send it right back! I got Spink's 2003 book and it started to fall apart hours after I'd bought it so I went back and they gave me a new one and some vouchers. It pays to complain!

In this day and age, it is most probably illegal to set a whole week of detention

I can't see it going very far after this

If I were your pupil, I would have you fired for doing that!

'Twas intriguing to say the least!

He looks like Jerry Springer. That could have been a deciding factor.

Oh yes, there were allsorts: I removed the 'offensive' ones

Hey, he is in no way cool. He split everyone up because we were talking (His impression of talking is clicking his fingers and going "Nipple nipple nipple nipple"). Me and my friend Elliot, who I sit next to got moved. He moved us to the back row and we sat next to one another. He then screamed "NOOOOOO. Do you have to hold hands with each other? Sit at the other end, NOW!" So I said under my breath "Go back to South Africa, where you belong" and I got a detention.

Hehehehe I found this on a x-ray website. The man "fell" onto the revolver and it got stuck in his rectum

I think we can safely say that's a record!

I've found that also. A few years back, in say 2000, I would hardly ever find year 2000 coins in my change but now 2004 ones have jumped into the registers in February.

Haha, so true. I watched The Patriot last year. What a sack of crap that was. This old guy (Mel Gibson) and his two scrawny (untrained) kids were going around ambushing British convoys of soldiers. And in these battles of three vs. thirty, they always won. I was laughing at the innaccuracy of it all because in reality, they would have been shot to pieces before they'd even primed their weapons. Thirty highly trained British grenadiers against two pre-pubescent children and their politician Father - not rivals at all. And then we could go off on the "How America won WWII" tangent....
