New coins
Hey, we’re getting new coin designs!
This is only of interest because I tried to pay with a new 1p in a petrol station recently and the woman took one look at it and said, “I don’t know what this is” and gave it back to me. This struck me as funny because who cares, it’s only a penny.
Evidently, however, I do because I took the trouble to look this up and then blog about it. I can now get that sense of moral high ground. I was right! Mwa ha ha ha! She rejected a penny for nothing. Fools. Fooooools!

Oooh, exciting. I’m not sold on the designs yet though. Firstly, we’ll have the old coins around for ages too, so there won’t be consistency for decades to come. Secondly, the 20p looks stupid.
When she said “I don’t know what this is”, you could have pointed her to the wording on the coin and said “Look! This is one penny!”. Fools indeed!
