    I'm completely fine with the marijuana leaf in the corner. The smokes and the beer are probably a bit questionable, especially given that a VB can was chosen. Not the best beer in my opinion.

    It has so far cost $9.3 million and is two years behind schedule according to that three year old article. No sign of them yet...

    They should just go with The Poida. They can have it royalty free.

    ^ won't they also have to change some coins once the queen dies and the new king has had his coronation?

    They will make some new ones anyway. The queen has a new portrait out for the latest coins so it is not like it is going to be a major issue. I doubt they will recall all the old coins unless they intend to change the size or metal composition at the same time.

    Of course it will be worth zero in 20 years. We'll have a single world currency in 5.

    They might consider putting extra zeros at the end ... Zimbabwe style.
