Sucky. Where has Britannia gone?

Lurker 04.03.2008 06:36 PM

I know. I liked the pound coin and 50 pence changing every year, too.

Danny Himself 04.03.2008 06:38 PM

Also, are the 1p and 2p coins PINK? What is this treachery? Pink money is for Australians.

Lurker 04.03.2008 06:39 PM

Yeah! And the pound is silverer than silver. What's going on?! They've gone mad!

Danny Himself 04.03.2008 06:41 PM

Mad as hatters.

Have they discontinued the £2 coin then?

Everyneurotic 04.03.2008 06:42 PM

the title of this thread triggers rich boy's "throw some d's" in my head.

"Rich Boy sellin' crack
Fuck niggas wanna jack
Shit tight no slack
Just bought a Cadillac (THROW SOME D'S ON THAT BITCH!)
Just bought a Cadillac (THROW SOME D'S ON THAT BITCH!)
Just bought a Cadillac"

Danny Himself 04.03.2008 06:46 PM

"Fuck niggas wanna jack" has to be the least intelligent sentence ever formulated. A curse on it's author. A curse!

No, just it wasn't part of the new design thing. They'll probably put a picture of Harry and William getting drunk or something on that.

Hahaha! Yeah

Wow, a 6 piece puzzle you can carry in your pocket, with an answer key for a bonus.

On a related note, if the US ever puts Reagan on any form of money, I'm leaving the country.

Lurker 04.03.2008 07:51 PM

Of course it's going to be long time before you get all the coins to do the puzzle.

I will be New Money in Ten years time.

SYRFox 04.04.2008 01:27 AM

Is it a kind of late April's Fools ? Because it sure looks like

Lurker 04.04.2008 08:23 AM

No it's real. I don't think the royal mint is into pulling april fools tricks. I've seen stuff in papers about this.

Lurker 04.04.2008 08:23 AM

Why would you think it a trick?

floatingslowly 04.04.2008 08:40 AM

An english radio presenter already did that joke. And he did a cover of "in the club" called "in the pub" with lyrics changed appropriately.

Cool. Are you a Europhile then? What's potus?

Lurker 04.04.2008 11:06 AM

Don't you mean the empire that's capital is the Haag?

m1rr0r dash 04.04.2008 11:10 AM

President Of The United States.


yes, i like the Europe... "europhile" makes it sound like a hobby though. i prefer the more pretentious sounding "subject of Albert the Second, ruler of the Kingdom of Belgium, and by proxy all of the European Union."

Lurker 04.04.2008 11:23 AM

Those pictures don't show up on my computer.

m1rr0r dash 04.04.2008 11:24 AM

according to wiki, the parliament is in Strasbourg, and the European Court of Justice is in Luxembourg. (kind of like a suburb of Belgium.)

the International Court of Justice is in the Hague.
