That is just a filler design, so something is there so oyu can get a rough idea of what the reverse will look like ifyou went for a similar design to the current £1.

"oyu" being Prince Charles, I take it? That being the Queen's favourite mode of address for him...

Looks like a Gibraltar 20p with that broad border..

I have to ask why?......conservatively its going to cost £100m to change all the coin machines.....still, thats £138m less than we gave to Somalia in aid....and only 10% of what we gave to India for their space program....sorry, I meant in aid....

Yet that still might be less than the total value of current fakes..

odd thing is I have found ONE fake in the past year, so I have seen less of them.

Or they're getting better...

I'll just say that i like it. An interesting design and Beats the boring round coin. I can forsee many errors with this design, in the recesses and on the edges, good old royal mint. It can also be said that the Queens head won't be on them too Long either, she's. to got many years left in her, so probably collectors will be stashing some of these.

I have to agree with you on that point I reckon we are going to be seeing a few short reigns ( comparatively speaking) out of Charles and William.

The queen is 87 I reckon we will get 5-10 years of her then Charles will be in his late 70's- 80's ( if he lives that long himself) so give him no more than 20 years but I think it will be about 10-15. By that point William will be 61 by this point so say another 20 odd years of him before George will take the thrown.

could be an interesting time.

Will Charles get to reign considering he's divorced and has married a commoner? My assumption is that if he does get the chance that he max pass it straight over to William

I don't think it would matter this time round. I think he might pass on it, but I kind of don't want him too.

That doesn't seem to matter any more. William has also married a commoner (much commoner) so technically Harry is next is far as I'm concerned, unless he marries a commoner too!

You're saying William will be 61 in 15 years time?? :o Something wrong with your maths, mate!

Will there be coins or cash in any form that far out? Within 20 years we will be paying electronically?

Will postage stamps be going the same way?

Great time to be a young collector building future investments.
