<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prestoninanus, post: 1103509, member: 20205&quot;]In aesthetic terms, they probably ought to go with someone else, maybe the Austrian Mint or the Royal Canadian Mint. I am British, but frankly, the Royal Mint produces crap that makes me ashamed to be a British numismatist. I did a double take on a 2010 £1 coin the other day, the workmanship was so poor that I intially thought it was a counterfeit. I have seen actual counterfeits that look better than the 2010 official issue. </p><p>&nbsp;And the sovereigns they knock out look like barely discernable metal discs, especially the quarter sovereign, where the design is barely even visible and could probably be forged to a much higher standard by pretty much anyone with some basic engraving knowledge. They must knock &#039;em out super cheap compared to other mints to persuade foreign customers to buy their cheesy wares, I don&#039;t see how they can touch most other mints in the civilised world for quality...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
