Britania To Leave Our Coins




Despite Gordon Brown's public protestations about how he cherishes his Britishness, we are to loose the Britannia symbol from our coins for the first time in more than 300 years.

The new design is quite clever, where the different coins put together make a heraldic British design, as shown on the £1 coin. But if we must change, why not something really British like and Oak Tree, Dr Who, Barbara Windsor or Cricket.
