[e5]

I like them. :) Could tell you something else but i'd have to shoot you :(

[lew!]

it took me ages to realise they make up a sheild when put together LOL

[Adam$]

they look alright but they could have done better. the ten pence, for example, will look crap on its own. also, where's the £2 coin?

[Asher]

oh well, it's money!!!!!!!! lol

The £2 isn't being revamped.

I actually really like these.

[Mitch4?]

they look alright together, but when you take them apart its gonna be like, what?!
nice gimmick, but money shouldn't be a gimmick tbf.

Oh and the pound being silver, thats crap - i always look for gold when i find money if i need a pound :(

[ToxicPaddy]

Prefer the old ones, and I dont understand why theres an irish harp on one or two of them seeing as they are independant now..

And when are these coming into circulation?

[lew!]

they arnt doing the £2 as it was already designed in 1997 - they thought it was to recent to redesign it again.

[PaintYourTarget]

I honestly thought this was an April Fools joke when I first saw it on Msn.

Yes northern ireland uses it, and the republic used to use the Irish pound which was around 70 irish pence to a british pound.

[Turbanators]

Utter crap. :)

[ToxicPaddy]

Lol soz I ment Northern Ireland uses the pound, the the Republic uses the Euro. Also, when someone said 'utter crap' did they mean the coins or this?

[DaveTaylor]

If there new now, we won't get them in our hands til about 2010 probably. I mean who actually gets a 2008 coin in there hands at the moment?

Remember they recently released those new £20 notes, well within 2 weeks all the £20 notes in the house were the new ones and they were all in shops

I think they look realy nice. Better than the current ones.

[Plank]

They have been planning this since 2005 http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2005/aug/18/arts.artsnews

they are being released in the next few months, and the old coins will stay in circulation with them

And here's a better picture of them:

that looks alright when they're like that, I suppose.

[shizzle]

Don't like them, who designs these.

[Firehorse]

I don't really like the design that much, doens't really make much sense. It would easily confuse you as I'm used to the destinctive old ones.

[alexxxxx]

its ok cause really its the shaoe thats impoortant. When you go into your pocket. You feel for the shape.

[Firehorse]

quite a collection. When put together right they make a crest.
