<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 362767, member: 39&quot;]Got my Welsh coins last week. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, the &quot;new designs&quot; set produced by the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Wales, that is. The price (I just wanted the base metal set) was a little much, but combined with free shipping it was fine. Interestingly the folder shows a few images of the design progress, so to say - and surprise, Mr Dent also made designs that would have addressed &quot;my&quot; issues: Figures and bigger characters for the value indications, and the lion&#039;s butt on the 1p instead of the 20p coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bild23zy8.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bild23zy8.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/2497/bild23zy8.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, Wales is not represented, but if the Mint picks the Royal Arms for the designs, well ... Besides, once the new coins actually circulate, you will always see jigsaw puzzle pieces of the arms anyway. And also, since the new coins have the same specifications (diameter, composition, etc.) as the old or current coins, both will co-exist in your wallet for a good long time. In terms of design, however, I like the new pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
